CTO Excellence in 100 Days

Story
As chief innovator and problem solver, the CTO’s value far exceeds technology skills. The CTO must lead as a highly visible first-class citizen of the C-suite. Still, many technology experts operate in a reactive, support-oriented style, struggling to command respect or assert influence—let alone executive presence. Whether setting the tone as a new hire or looking to redirect or revitalize an established role, one hundred days are all you need to secure long-term success.

The art of developing an application has been well described in various coding books that you can find gathering dust on almost all developers desks around the world. This is not that book. There may be some technical references, but astonishing few of them, considering this is a CTO book. And why’s that? This is a book for people who ended up in the situation of having to work with other people building applications—also known as “developers.” Fresh CTOs, product people, or whoever is interested in leading dev teams can also benefit from listening to this book.

In The Unicorn Project, we follow Maxine, a senior lead developer and architect, as she is exiled to the Phoenix Project, to the horror of her friends and colleagues, as punishment for contributing to a payroll outage. She tries to survive in what feels like a heartless and uncaring bureaucracy and to work within a system where no one can get anything done without endless committees, paperwork, and approvals. One day, she is approached by a ragtag bunch of misfits who say they want to overthrow the existing order, to liberate developers, to bring joy back to technology work.

Bill, an IT manager at Parts Unlimited, has been tasked with taking on a project critical to the future of the business, code named Phoenix Project. But the project is massively over budget and behind schedule. The CEO demands Bill must fix the mess in 90 days, or else Bill’s entire department will be outsourced. With the help of a prospective board member and his mysterious philosophy of the Three Ways, Bill starts to see that IT work has more in common with manufacturing plant work than he ever imagined.

Being a CEO at any of the world’s largest companies is among the most challenging roles in business. Billions, and even trillions, are at stake—and the fates of tens of thousands of employees often hang in the balance. Yet, even when “can’t miss” high-achievers win the top job, very few excel. For those who shoulder the burden of being the one on whom everyone counts, a manual for excellence is sorely needed. To identify the 21st century’s best CEOs, the authors of CEO Excellence started with a pool of over 2,400 public company CEOs.

How can we apply technology to drive business value? For years we've been told that the performance of software delivery teams doesn't matter - that it can't provide a competitive advantage to our companies. Through four years of groundbreaking research to include data collected from the State of DevOps reports conducted with Puppet, Dr. Nicole Forsgren, Jez Humble, and Gene Kim set out to find a way to measure software delivery performance - and what drives it - using rigorous statistical methods. This book presents both the findings and the science behind that research, making the information accessible for listeners to apply in their own organizations.

Publisher's summary
The job of a Chief Technical Officer is broad, ever-changing, and hard to define.
Is the CTO an engineer, an architect, a people manager, or an executive?
Turns out, in most cases, it’s all of the above—and even the most experienced “techies” often find themselves feeling underprepared for the human and logistical sides of this pivotal role.
In this engaging yet eminently practical book, consultant and veteran CTO Zach Goldberg shares his guidance on handling the complexities of one of business’s hardest to define roles, and provides clear pathways through the most common challenges facing startup CTOs and technical founders. From managing other executives, to hiring (and firing), to supporting engineers through critical rollouts, this book has frameworks, best practices, and guidance to help you build a high-performing, happy engineering organization.
This book is a must-listen for all founders, as well as anyone transitioning from a technical or engineering role to the position of CTO. With Goldberg’s knowledge at your fingertips, you’ll soon master both the science and the art of leading a high-performing technical team.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Since you were old enough to hold a job, you've been hoodwinked to believe that wealth can be created by blindly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market. I call this soul-sucking, dream-stealing dogma "The Slowlane" - an impotent financial gamble that dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair. For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to "settle-for-less", there is an alternative.

The latest groundbreaking tome from Tim Ferriss, the number-one New York Times best-selling author of The 4-Hour Workweek.

The guests range from super celebs (Jamie Foxx, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc.) and athletes (icons of powerlifting, gymnastics, surfing, etc.) to legendary Special Operations commanders and black-market biochemists. For most of my guests, it’s the first time they’ve agreed to a two-to-three-hour interview.

Michael Pollan, known for his best-selling nonfiction audio, including The Omnivores Dilemma and How to Change Your Mind, conceived and wrote Caffeine: How Caffeine Created the Modern World as an Audible Original. In this controversial and exciting listen, Pollan explores caffeine’s power as the most-used drug in the world - and the only one we give to children (in soda pop) as a treat.

Story
As chief innovator and problem solver, the CTO’s value far exceeds technology skills. The CTO must lead as a highly visible first-class citizen of the C-suite. Still, many technology experts operate in a reactive, support-oriented style, struggling to command respect or assert influence—let alone executive presence. Whether setting the tone as a new hire or looking to redirect or revitalize an established role, one hundred days are all you need to secure long-term success.

The art of developing an application has been well described in various coding books that you can find gathering dust on almost all developers desks around the world. This is not that book. There may be some technical references, but astonishing few of them, considering this is a CTO book. And why’s that? This is a book for people who ended up in the situation of having to work with other people building applications—also known as “developers.” Fresh CTOs, product people, or whoever is interested in leading dev teams can also benefit from listening to this book.

For those who drive excellence and innovation
If you're a startup CTO, or a startup leader, 'The Startup CTO's Handbook' is a must-read. The book offers clear insights and practical advice that can be applied to all aspects of leading a high-performing team. The author draws from his extensive experience to provide a comprehensive guide that covers essential skills, best practices, and key leadership principles.
The content is well-structured and easy to digest, making it a valuable resource for both new and experienced CTOs. The book addresses an array of topics, from building and scaling an engineering team to fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration. It also delves into the technical aspects of the role, such as architecting scalable systems and making informed technology choices.
One of the strengths of this book is its practicality: The author provides concrete examples and actionable steps that readers can implement in their own organizations. The knowledge provided is grounded in real-world experience, making it both relatable and effective.
The narration by the author is excellent, and I found the book so useful that I purchased both the print and audible versions. Having access to this valuable resource in multiple formats is a great benefit in my experience.
I highly recommend 'The Startup CTO's Handbook' to anyone in the startup world who wants to drive technical excellence and innovation. It provides a wealth of knowledge and practical advice that can help you build and lead high-performing engineering teams.

Ok for beginners
Great points when discussing soft skills, valuable suggestions on people management and hiring, but disappointing when discussing hard skills, some suggestions on tech and architecture are shallow and incorrect. Would be better if it included more real life stories and examples for each chapter. This is a good book for mid-level engineers who want to understand the fundamentals of engineering management
