Couple recommendations that are popular with people who've been managing for a while:

- Managing Humans by Michael Lopp

- The Managers Path by Camille Fournier

- Radical Candor by Kim Scott

I think the netflix culture deck is also helpful: https://igormroz.com/documents/netflix_culture.pdf

I highly recommend 'The Managers Path' as well. It really helped me wrap my head around the changes I needed to make for my transition to Engineering Manager, and also the types of things I need to work on for the next move to a Manager of Managers.

Reading every path also helped me build empathy in what difficulties my boss (VP) and boss's boss (CTO) are going through. Easy ready, highly recommended.

Camille’s book is great.
