To my family.
All of my family.
This remains a work of semi-fiction.
A book on management is filled with insight, ideas, and opinions about how to lead humans. All of this information is based on real-life experience with actual people. While Id love to tell you that all my leadership experiences have been positive and productive, they havent been. Ive lost ita lot, and there were often witnesses. These witnesses are the ones who helped me pull it together and gave me another chapter for this book. Thank you.
All the names of people referred to in the chapters of this book are fake. Ive taken everyone that Ive known and mentally thrown them into a bag, shaken said bag, and pulled out Fez, Phil, Alice, and Frank. Using these constructed characters, I create a story, sometimes set in a familiar company I actually worked forlike Apple, Netscape, Palantir, Pinterest, or Borlandwhich allows me to explain whatever leadership insight Im relaying. Like my characters, my stories are fake. My hope is that they still ring true in your head because while they are fantastic stories, they are based on real experiences.
The icing on this semi-fictional cake is Rands. This is a name I began using in the mid-1990s for my virtual presence. When I began blogging, the name stuck. Think of Rands as your semi-fictional guide walking you through the fake stories of fake people that have had incredible relevant (yet fake) experiences.
Rands has a bit of attitude, but, then again, so do I.

The readers of Rands in Repose, who not only unwittingly guided the initial creation of this work by reading, commenting, and mailing, but whose continued interest allowed me to develop a far superior fourth edition.
The Rands Leadership Slack community who inspire me daily with their selflessness, their dedication to being kind, and their desire to become better leaders.
John Gruber and Jim Coudal, my dear friends, who inspire me with the things they build. Our best drinking days are ahead of us.
Melanie Baker, my editor, whose infinite patience and unique Canadianness keeps Rands sounding like Rands. She would never allow the word Canadianness into a proper book.
Tom Paquin, who years ago took the time to guide me and shape my thinking regarding how to be a good leader.
COVID-19. Were going to acknowledge, but not thank you.
Steve Jobs, who didnt fire me when he had the chance.
In addition to his day job, Michael writes a popular technology and management blog under the nom de plume Rands, where he discusses his leadership ideas, worries about staying relevant, and explains that while you might be handsomely rewarded for what you build, you are only as successful as your team. His blog and podcast can be found at www.randsinrepose.com .
Michael lives in the Redwoods of Northern California with his family. He rides his bikesShasta (road), MacKenzie (mountain), and Isabelle (gravel)walks in the forest, and drinks red wine whenever he can, because staying sane is more important than staying busy.
For having shot a bow and arrow maybe ten times in my life, its odd that I think of management skills as being arrows in a quiver. But the metaphor works. Much of management is about solving problems, and what better way to solve a problem than to tape it to a target, step back, pull out the right arrow, and fire. Whether you hit the target or not, theres a gratifying plunk sound. Thats the sound of progress.
We all have managers, and whether youre the director of engineering or an individual contributor, one of your jobs is to figure your manager out. What does she want? How does she deal with a crisis? How does she communicate? As you learn each of these lessons, you get an arrow. Its not only a reminder that you learned something, but its a tool you throw in your quiver so that the next time you see a similar problem you grab the right arrow, carefully aim, and shoot.
