The Team that Managed Itself: A Story of Leadership by Christina Wodtke

5.0

Throughout my career, I’ve seen how healthy team dynamics can make or break the product a team creates. Designing a good way to work together is just as important as designing the software.

Christina Wodtke is incredibly smart, and her latest book takes on this topic with a different approach from what we usually see in design books. It’s a fictional story about folks working in a tech company, centering on a leader who is learning how to help her team work together. It’s a powerful way to show, rather than explain, important concepts about building, and being part of, a team.
