About this listen

There's a saying that people don't leave companies, they leave managers. Management is a key part of any organization, yet the discipline is often self-taught and unstructured. Getting to the good solutions of complex management challenges can make the difference between fulfillment and frustration for teams, and, ultimately, the success or failure of companies.

Will Larson's An Elegant Puzzle orients around the particular challenges of engineering management - from sizing teams to technical debt to succession planning - and provides a path to the good solutions. Drawing from his experience at Digg, Uber, and Stripe, Will Larson has developed a thoughtful approach to engineering management that leaders of all levels at companies of all sizes can apply. An Elegant Puzzle balances structured principles and human-centric thinking to help any leader create more effective and rewarding organizations for engineers to thrive in.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Excellent overview of material that's relevant to current dev managers. Let down by robotic sounding narrator who obviously isn't technical, based on pronunciation of some technical terms

Good primer on Systems Engineering Management

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The book has makes some really good points and has great takeaways for any engineering leader, but it’s narrated so poorly. It sounds like an AI, no personality. It makes it difficult to follow sometimes.

Good book badly narrated

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The narration sounds like an AI bot with no emotion and no varying tones. Doesn’t help with focus.

Good book. Poor narration.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
this doesn't feel like a human narrating but a text to speech! No emotion whatsoever.

is this really a human narrating?
