in plain english

This repository is a curated reading and resource list for people who manage engineering teams or want to move into that role. It was put together by Ryan Burgess and covers the skills that show up most often in engineering leadership work: communicating clearly with your team and with the rest of the organization, building teams that work well together, giving and receiving feedback, resolving conflict, developing emotional awareness, and thinking about career growth for yourself and the people you manage. The list is organized by format. Under books you will find titles focused on management style, organizational health, difficult conversations, understanding people from different cultural backgrounds, and personal resilience. The courses section includes structured learning on management interviewing, handling feedback and conflict, and building influence inside an engineering organization. There is also a mentoring section that links to programs and communities where you can find or become a mentor, and a diversity and inclusion section with resources on making teams more equitable and welcoming. The collection also includes articles, podcasts, and tools, though the full extent of those sections is beyond what was provided here. The README makes clear that the audience is broad: current engineering managers, people who want to become managers, and individual contributors who want to improve how they work with and relate to others. There is no software to install or run. This is a plain reference list that lives as a GitHub repository so that anyone can suggest additions or corrections through the standard pull request workflow. The full README is longer than what was shown.
