I'll split this book into 2 main parts: the importance of 1:1s & how to conduct them and depiction of really impressive author's experience after working in multiple high-tech companies where he had to deal with a lot of stress and challenges that're the main attributes of every growing company.
The book is very well-written, if I were in the business of allusions to dishes this particular book would be a molecular caviar. Standing on shoulders of giants of the past, with a pinch of bleeding edge terminology and references to the companies that are hot.
If I condense the whole book in a bullet list, that'd be
- Conduct 1:1s, no matter what
- Embrace the change, it's inevitable
- Trust to delegate or you'd crumble under load
- Find time to innovate
- Be enthusiastic about what you do and either lead or leave
- Be kind to people
My score is 5/5.
