Summary

Many people think leadership is a higher calling that resides exclusively with a select few who practice and preach big, complex leadership philosophies. But as this practical book reveals that what’s most important for leadership is principled consistency. Time and again, small things done well build trust and respect within a team.

Using stories from his time at Netscape, Apple, and Slack, Michael Lopp presents a series of small but compelling practices to help you build leadership skills. You’ll learn how to create teams that are highly productive, highly respected, and highly trusted. Lopp has been speaking and writing about this topic for over a decade and now maintains a Slack leadership channel with over 13,000 members.

The essays in this book examine the practical skills Lopp learned from exceptional leaders - as a manager at Netscape, a senior manager and director at Apple, and an executive at Slack. You’ll learn how to apply these lessons to your own experience.

Great content and performance

A great performance making for some interesting and entertaining hours of listening. The Epilogue is without a doubt a very interesting moment in the audiobook.

Simple yet exquisitely written

As a leader in big tech myself (product management) I was skeptics about reading a book that would state the seemingly obvious but this was a fantastic read. It also helped me repeat/article concepts I’ve been trying to crystallise to help coach new managers on my team. Highly recommend.
