Refactor: From Individual Contributor to Team Leader

Most management books are written for people who wanted the job. This one is for engineers who got pushed into it.

REFACTOR treats the transition as restructuring, not replacement: an 8-step framework built from real management failures, not theory. Read Sunday, apply Monday.

Covers the parts nobody warns you about: information as currency, protecting your team at a cost to yourself, translating technical work into terms an executive will act on.

For new and first-time team leads still figuring out whether they're an engineer who manages people or a manager who used to be an engineer.
