[8/8] Managing Humans: Biting and Humorous Tales of a Software Engineering Manager (How to Manage Intellectuals: I'm Nerds & Geeks) (Category Management)
I continue the story of this book with a review of the third and last part of Versions of You, where the author talks on his fingers about the geek mindset and how to successfully learn with different people, where each person is a different version of you:) Posts from other parts of the book are available here 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
48) First impression and lead Rands talks about the adaptation of the resume for the vacancy and the hiring manager. Specific advice is not important – it is important. 49) Getting in the bull's eye on phone screening Tips on how to study the company and position, prepare your story and prepare questions for interviewers. It seems simple, but not everyone does:)
50) Your exit checklist. Good tips on how to leave the company properly Don’t promise what you can’t do.
- Respect networking.
- Update your crew. (Those you would like to see on your team.)
- Don't use illegal techniques. Behave appropriately with those you have worked for and those who have worked for you. Do not agree to do work after being fired. (Or if you really need to ask for a lot of money.) Don’t provide too much information. (For example, do not report the transition too early.)
51) Disappearance of nameplates This is an interesting chapter about when employees say goodbye to companies. The bottom line is that a person has his own desires and values, and if work leads to the fact that desires are not satisfied and values are seriously divergent, then the person becomes open to other options. In fact, at this point, he says goodbye to the company, although he still works for a while. 52) Beautiful chaotic snowflakes People are chaotic snowflakes. Therefore, even if you as a leader had a plan, then in the ocean of uncertainty it can go according to the plan. The main thing is to be able to work with this uncertainty and not get lost.
This funny and funny book ends here, and I hope you enjoyed the summary and some of you bought the book.
