許多人認為領導是一種高尚的使命，僅限於實踐或遵循複雜而引人入勝的領導哲學的經理人。但對於領導來說，重要的是堅持原則，因為做好小事可以建立和尊重團隊。麥可在他在Slack、Pinterest和Apple擔任高級領導者的時間裡，使用故事呈現了一系列幫助您建立領導能力的領導實踐。您將學習如何培養高效、受人尊敬和高度信任的團隊。

在這本實用的書中，麥可舉例說明了他從三家充滿活力的公司的優秀領導者那裡學到的領導能力：

Michael Lopp is a veteran Silicon Valley-based engineering leader who builds both people and product at historic companies such as Slack, Borland, Netscape, Palantir, Pinterest, and Apple. When he's not deeply worrying about staying relevant, he writes about backpacks, bridges, humans, and leadership at the popular weblog, Rands in Repose. He currently works at Apple. This is the way.

Michael has written three books. His first book "Managing Humans, 3rd Edition" is a popular guide to the art of engineering leadership and clearly explains that while you will be rewarded for what you build, you will only be successful because of your people. His second book "Being Geek" is a career handbook for geeks and nerds alike. Michael's third book, Small Things, Done Well, explains how focusing on the small parts of leadership is critical to becoming a better leader.Michael rides gravel bikes, wonders about semicolons, drinks red wine, and tries to understand how forests work amongst the redwoods of Northern California because curiosity is how you grow.

Michael Lopp是一位資深的矽谷工程領導者，曾在Slack、Borland、Netscape、Palantir、Pinterest和Apple等歷史悠久的公司擔任人力和產品建設的角色。當他不在深深擔心保持與時俱進時，他會在受歡迎的網誌《Rands in Repose》上寫關於背包、橋樑、人類和領導力的文章。他目前在Apple工作。這就是方法。

Michael已經出版了三本書。他的第一本書《Managing Humans, 3rd Edition》是一本關於工程領導藝術的受歡迎指南，清楚地解釋了你將因為你建造的東西而獲得回報，但只有因為你的團隊才能取得成功。他的第二本書《Being Geek》是一本針對技術愛好者和書呆子的職業手冊。Michael的第三本書《Small Things, Done Well》解釋了專注於領導的細微部分對成為更好的領導者至關重要。Michael騎著碎石路自行車，思考著分號，喝紅酒，並試圖在加州北部的紅杉樹林中理解森林的運作方式，因為好奇心是你成長的方式。
