Great list Mirek, thank you :)

I only read Cagan's latest book, do you think it's worth going backward for the other 2?

I also highly recommend "Become an Effective Software Engineering Manager" by James Stanier :)

Thanks, Anton! The last Cagan's boo,k Transformed indeed, combines a lot from Inspired and Empowered. But I think these titles are worth reading anyway.

Inspired talks mostly about the role of individuals, and Empowered about leaders. I often give these books to my teammates to emphasize how I would like to work with them. Usually, the most senior individuals get Inspired, while team leads get Empowered. :)

Thanks for the recommendation. I've added it to my to-read list. :)
