The Engineering Executive's Primer: Impactful Technical Leadership is a 2024 management guide by Will Larson, an engineering leader also known for An Elegant Puzzle and Staff Engineer. It addresses the transition from senior engineering management into roles such as Head of Engineering, Vice President of Engineering, or Chief Technology Officer. Rather than treating executive work as a larger version of team management, the book focuses on the distinct responsibilities that emerge when decisions affect the whole company. Its scope includes obtaining and negotiating an executive role, early onboarding, organizational planning, operating meetings, hiring and performance management, and knowing when to leave. Larson also examines recurring executive demands that can be ambiguous in practice, including engineering measurement, headcount planning, cross-functional communication, and technology strategy. The book belongs to the practical technical-leadership genre, but its defining concern is the operating reality of the engineering executive: translating technical judgment into company-level decisions while maintaining a functioning organization over time.
