Leadership

Actionable Agile Metrics for Predictability is a comprehensive guide on how to use flow metrics and analytics to get the predictability your customers crave.

You cannot lead what you cannot see. In AI-heavy organizations, illegibility is now the default. This book gives you fracture names, diagnostic protocols, and field kits for seeing and governing systems where dashboards lie and decisions live in prompts no one saved.

Most enterprise AI programs do not fail because the model is weak. They fail because the organization cannot operate AI: costs are hidden, ownership is vague, governance is late, vendors create dependency, and production risk is not clearly assigned. This book helps leaders fix the system around the model.

Questo libro lavora su sei aree concrete: comunicazione, feedback, riunioni, colloqui one-on-one, gestione delle performance, e le sfide personali del passaggio da chi produce a chi fa produrre.Non troverai la formula per non sbagliare mai. Troverai qualcosa di più utile: una mappa. Una mappa non ti dice cosa fare. Ti dice dove sei.

The first book that addresses engineering management specifically for the AI-native era. Classic EM books like The Manager's Path and An Elegant Puzzle predate agentic coding tools — this one starts where they left off. Every chapter produces a concrete artifact: a hiring rubric, a performance calibration guide, a budget template, a rollout plan. By the end, you have a complete management playbook for leading engineering teams where agents write most of the code.

The second volume in a series on how to use flow metrics and analytics to get the predictability your customers crave.

Written for facilitators or coaches who need situational pointers in workplace settings,"The Visual Coach Handbook" is: A quick reference with a theme-based lookup system. It contains inspiring real-world examples where simple visuals are used to create more engaging workshops, meetings, and higher quality conversations. I’m pretty proud of this book you're about to hold in your hands. In these pages, I’m sharing some really personal stories of how I’ve used visuals to coach myself and my teams through tough spots. My hope is that it inspires you to grab a pen or an iPad and use simple visuals to help others, and even yourself, get from where you are to where you want to be. I get asked a lot for templates of the visuals I use. This book is more than a dictionary of templates. It’s got the building blocks of visual coaching that will help you be a better: • Note-taker• Communicator• Worker / Contributor • Manager• Coach• Facilitator • Consultant

A personalized guide to developing the qualities that make a successful technical leader, with practical steps for developing those qualities.

The Corporate Sabotage Field Guide is a satirical field manual examining how organizations quietly undermine themselves from the inside. Framed like a classified dossier from the Office of Strategic Systemic Decay (OSSD), it catalogs familiar managerial practices — subtly weaponized to erode clarity, stall momentum, and sabotage culture under the guise of professionalism. Darkly humorous, uncomfortably accurate, and grounded in real systems behavior, it’s written for those who recognize that dysfunction often wears a lanyard.

Teams are producing more code than ever. Dashboards are green. And something is quietly breaking. AI coding assistants didn't break your development process; they revealed it was already fragile. Reimagine, Don't Retrofit is a field-tested argument that the software development lifecycle itself needs to be reimagined for the AI era, from governance and metrics to team roles and delivery flow.
