Quando a venticinque anni è diventata manager del design team di Facebook (all’epoca ancora poco più che una startup), Julie Zhuo non aveva la più pallida idea di cosa ci si aspettasse da lei in quel ruolo e di cosa fare per guidare il suo gruppo durante l’inarrestabile crescita dell’azienda. Ha dovuto trovare le risposte sul campo, provando, sbagliando e correggendo il tiro. Giorno dopo giorno, è cresciuta insieme all’organizzazione, diventando la leader di un grande team, con un ruolo fondamentale all’interno di una delle aziende tech più rilevanti del secolo, e accumulando un capitale di esperienza senza pari. Lo scopo di Missione manager è proprio quello di trasmettere questa esperienza e di metterla a disposizione di chi si trova ad affrontare le stesse sfide. Un libro che parla ai giovani (ma non solo) spiegando in maniera molto pratica quali sono le responsabilità dei manager, le cose che non possono fare a meno di sapere e come cambiano i problemi e le soluzioni man mano che la propria carriera decolla.
