Not for me, but I do like that one of the sections is:<p>&gt; 08 - Winning trust with communication<p>&gt; Learn simple keys to becoming a better communicator and how to identify your team’s different communication styles.<p>Having experienced the pain of working somewhere where leadership tried to decree a single &quot;right&quot; method of communication for all developers that didn&#x27;t jive with us at all, I don&#x27;t take this for granted anymore.<p>In that case, management declared that in-person communication was so essential to the agile philosophy that all devs should be ok with being interrupted by anyone and at any time for the purposes of having a face-to-face chat (and WFH was not allowed unless sick). I now work somewhere where I don&#x27;t see any co-workers in person on most days, and somehow we get tons more work done and stay in contact just fine. Weird how that works...

The book &quot;Project Management for the Unofficial Project Manager&quot; is a high-level but pretty complete introduction to project management. It has good examples from non-technical projects, such as rolling out a new health program in a hospital. It uses official terms from the Project Management Institute’s infamous &quot;Project Management Body of Knowledge&quot; (PMBOK) so information learned from this introduction can be carried over to more rigorous projects.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;dp&#x2F;194163110X&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;dp&#x2F;194163110X&#x2F;</a>

Thanks, I think I might check this out. I have been toying with the idea of getting back into leadership. I hate seeing all of these people with terrible bosses.<p>All of my leadership experience is 1) outside of tech, and 2) not remote oriented. Now that I have some experience as a coder under my belt (~5 years), I&#x27;d love to get some training on remote leadership styles and perhaps lead a team and make something useful.

Step 1 is not using a gantt chart to create some illusory impression of knowing exactly how complex projects will unfold.

TeamGantt is a great help for planning, and this course is well worth doing.<p>In my team&#x27;s recent planning of a major multi-month feature, TeamGantt tooling helped us plan, helped our leadership visualize milestones and goals, and helped our developers deliver on time and on budget.

People have a tendency to classify some what complicated tasks as art or science. Leading a project is neither science nor art.
