+Following on a
+[previously posted collection of links](http://blog.david-andrzejewski.com/career-differentiation.html),
+here is another collection of resources focused on more
+organization-oriented topics. These are not exhaustive, and indeed
+some of these resources likely contradict each other outright. As in
+previous post, the reader is encouraged to take what they find
+suitable and leave the rest.
+
+## Context
+

+> be judged on one thing: the result.”
+> -[Vince Lombardi](http://www.vincelombardi.com/quotes.html)
+
+Most likely, a good deal of your professional work will occur in the
+context of collaboration with other individuals acting in some
+coordinated way to achieve higher-level goals. While your individual
+efforts will make a crucial contribution to the outcome, the
+effectiveness of _how_ you and others _work together_ will also be
+hugely important. Given this, it is worth giving some dedicated
+thought to the structure and dynamics of teams, organizations
+(especially businesses), and management. 
+
+### WHAT: product development
+
+Software engineering often supports the development of products or
+services that solve (either internal or external) customer
+problems. Questions about _what exactly_ the team should build are
+important, and it is useful to acquire some familiarity with
+frameworks and tools people use to grapple with them:
+
+- [The Lean Product Playbook](https://www.amazon.com/Lean-Product-Playbook-Innovate-Products-ebook/dp/B00SZ638C8/) - Dan Olsen
+- [What Customers Want](https://www.amazon.com/What-Customers-Want-Outcome-Driven-Breakthrough/dp/0071408673) - Anthony Ulwick
+
+### HOW: teams, management, and organizations
+
+How do people, teams, and organizations align and coordinate their
+efforts most effectively? Tough question, but here are some books
+about it.
+
+*Not necessarily software-specific:*
+- [High Output Management](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015VACHOK/) - Andrew Grove
+- [High Growth Handbook](https://www.amazon.com/High-Growth-Handbook-Elad-Gil/dp/1732265100/) - Elad Gil
+- [Principles](https://www.principles.com/) - Ray Dalio
+
+*At least kind of software-specific:*
+- [The Principles of Product Development Flow](https://www.amazon.com/Principles-Product-Development-Flow-Generation/dp/1935401009) - Donald Reinertsen
+- [Manager's Path](https://www.amazon.com/Managers-Path-Leaders-Navigating-Growth/dp/1491973897) - Camille Fournier
+- [An Elegant Puzzle](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QYCHJ7V/) - Will Larson
+- [Accelerate: The Science of Lean Software and DevOps](https://itrevolution.com/accelerate-book/) - Nicole Forsgren, PhD, Jez Humble, and Gene Kim
+
+### WHY: business structure and strategy
+
+Zooming even further out than "What/Product" questions, we can
+consider why the business even exists, how it is organized, and why it
+does what it does:
+
+- [The Nature of the Firm](https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1468-0335.1937.tb00002.x) - Ronald Coase
+- [7 Powers](https://www.amazon.com/7-Powers-Foundations-Business-Strategy/dp/0998116319) - Hamilton Helmer
+- [Understanding Michael Porter](https://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Michael-Porter-Essential-Competition/dp/1422160599) - Joan Magretta 
+
+### WILD CARD: Harrison Metal
+
+[Harrison Metal](https://www.harrisonmetal.com/) is an interesting
+organization, see their website for details. Among other things, they
+offer a library of free short instructional videos on a (very) wide
+range of startup and business topics and tactics. A few in particular
+that I have often forwarded to people are below:
+
+- [Thank you, Barbara Minto](https://www.harrisonmetal.com/library/storytelling-amp-presenting-1-thank-you-barbara-minto)
+- [Sense-Making Cartoons](https://www.harrisonmetal.com/library/sense-making-cartoons)
+- [Drake's Equation](https://www.harrisonmetal.com/library/drake-s-equation)
+- [Thank you, Robert McKee](https://www.harrisonmetal.com/library/storytelling-amp-presenting-2-thank-you-robert-mckee)
+
+### Optional: tangentially relevant historical nonfiction
+
+It can also be illuminating to take a deeper dive on some specific
+historical (up to and including very recent history) examples of
+teams, organizations, and projects.
