Engineer Manager is a curated repository of resources for engineering managers and aspiring leaders. It provides a comprehensive collection of articles, books, podcasts, and videos covering essential leadership topics like communication, team building, and conflict resolution. The project aims to help tech professionals develop the soft skills needed for effective management and career advancement.
Engineering managers, tech leads, aspiring leaders, and individual contributors in the tech industry who want to improve their leadership and interpersonal skills. It's particularly valuable for those transitioning into management roles or seeking to grow within engineering leadership.
It saves time by aggregating high-quality, vetted resources in one place, eliminating the need to search across multiple platforms. The curated approach ensures relevance and quality, focusing specifically on engineering management challenges rather than generic leadership advice.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Aggregates over 100 high-quality books, articles, podcasts, and videos from trusted sources like HBR and industry experts, saving significant research time for users.
Resources emphasize actionable advice for tech-specific challenges, such as managing technical debt, conducting remote interviews, and applying agile practices in engineering teams.
Maintained as a living repository with recent additions (e.g., 2022 articles on hybrid work), ensuring content stays relevant in a fast-evolving field.
Curated by Ryan Burgess, an experienced engineering manager, and includes endorsed resources from the tech community, adding real-world validity.
The repository is a static list without structured courses or progression, leaving users to self-navigate, which can overwhelm beginners seeking step-by-step guidance.
Primarily links to external content without summaries or critical analysis, requiring users to invest time in consuming full resources elsewhere for insights.
Selection may reflect the curator's biases, possibly overlooking niche topics or emerging trends in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) or non-Western management perspectives.
