Ask HN: Aids to Learn Engineering Management

1 points by GlenTheMachine 3y ago ↗ HN

I was recently promoted to be the head of a fifteen person engineering group that has multiple projects going on, some of them very blue sky research and some of them hardcore spaceflight engineering design.

I suck at it. I'm getting increasingly over my head. So I'm looking for help. Can anyone recommend a book, or a course, or a website, or anything that would give a completely new manager a life preserver?

This board is older now, but has some good articles on it.

Im in the same boat, 1 yesr under my belt but still just keeping my head above water. I think experience is key, and having an open 1:1 with your senior/peers to ask and learn for ongoing situations is super important.
