I am not the original poster, but you can do much worse than reading and really thinking about _The Phoenix Project_ and _High Output Management_.

Solid recommendations. I would also suggest books and content by Michael Lopp, aka Rands. He's gone from engineer to high profile manager and his work is solid. "Managing Humans" is a particular favourite and seems to be well received by engineers and leads making the transition.
