   Becoming a Manager by Linda Hill. Not a how-to, but it gives you a preview of the challenge and the blind spots you might have as you become a manager.

   Another that I haven't read but has been recommended to me is The Manager's Path.

   This article is also good: https://charity.wtf/2019/01/04/engineering-management-the-pe...

   Read Fournier's The Manager's Path and Linda Hill's Becoming a Manager, which is about sales people 30 years ago but nails the emotional challenges.

   In addition to others already mentioned, "Becoming a Manager," by Linda Hill: follows a group of new managers for a year, discussing how their understanding of their role changes. Absolutely great - for a long time I kept a home copy and a work copy. Follow-up "Being the Boss" is also good. And "The Leadership Pipeline," by Ram Charan, Stephen Drotter, James Noel: what you need to learn/change to succeed at each different level of management.
