Proposing Additional Resources
Preparing to add several resource recommendations. Will attempt to list them here:
- Added Team Topologies to Genrealist Book Recommendations. Deals with managing team interactions, useful both for managing a single team, and for managing many team interactions.
- Added Simple Sabotage to Meetings Recommendation. Calls out Collaboration anti-patterns, and practical remediations for these. Builds on CIA's Sabotage field manual provided to French resistance during the Occupation of World War II.
- Propose a YT video 'Designing and Running Effective Meetings', which builds on Simple Sabotage, providing practical proactive steps to avoid some of the anti-patterns. Full Disclosure, this Video is one of my presentations. I created it specifically for this kind of audience. However, I recognize the potentially dubious nature. I submit to the cheif maintainer for an honest evaluation. If it does not fit their vision, or add to this subject area, I will happily rescind the recommendation. Just let me know.
- Added Liberating Structures to Meetings. These are a series of Meeting formats, designed to improve collaboration and engagement. Strongly recommend, based on personal practice and ability to radically change meeting dynamics!
- Added The Effective Executive, by Peter Drucker to Generalist Book Recomendations. Seminal work in Management, and specifically deals with managing Knowledge Workers (i.e. Engineers). Would also serve as a sound basis for future career growth.
Hoping for guidance on appropriate location to add these. Also proposing one change per Commit to make it easier to isolate changes.
@charlax As you consider these changes, please accept my heart-felt thanks for assembling the master list! I have benefitted from your recommendations on several occasions. I wish to contribute to this resource, for future leaders in our space!
