See for example Team of Teams by General Chrystal--which is also a good book about organization/business generally.

+1. Team of Teams is a great intro to leadership for tech. General Chrystal identifies the distinction between complicated and complex areas and shows best practices for dealing with complexity (it's not just a semantic argument but actually something substantial, where tech leaders generally deal with complex problems and not complicated problems).
Is it an easily communicated difference?
Yes. Complicated means lots of moving pieces but predictable. Complex means lots of components that are far less predictable.
