Book: How F*cked Up is Your Management?

How F*cked Up is Your Management? is a collection of essays, many of which I’d already read on Medium. I did like it though – there’s a value to reading a curated collection the builds upon each other. Also, I want to support people writing things that I appreciate.

Some of it’s really good and actionable – like the stuff about hard conversations, but some things (like hiring product people and what good product people do) lacked some depth. It sold me on the idea… But I didn’t know where to start with the execution.

One thing: whilst the book talks well about diversity and inclusion, but I think only cited men as management resources (and one of them is pretty problematic), so that was a bit disappointing.

Overall: short read and worth the time.
