Publisher's Summary:
Is your team agile and self-organizing?
What is your role as a leader?
Team leadership is the missing link that connects all the buzzwords you hear these days about unit testing, TDD, continuous integration, scrum, XP, and others to the real world where actual people have to learn, implement, and mainly, believe and push for this stuff to happen.
This audiobook is meant for software team leaders, architects, and anyone with a leadership role in the software business. Hear advice from real team leaders, consultants, and everyday gurus of management: Johanna Rothman, Uncle Bob Martin, Dan North, Kevlin Henney, Jurgen Appelo, Patrick Kua, and many others, each with their own little story and reason to say just one thing that matters the most to them about leading teams.
See what it'll feel like if you do things wrong, and what you can do about things that might go wrong, before they happen.

Pretty Good for First Time Leaders
This is a pretty good book for first time software leaders to get an introduction to everything they will need to learn from a mentor. The book alone will give you the ideas and concepts with a few sort of real world examples. What you will need to make the experience complete is a mentor to help you understand the nuance that a book just cannot give. The contributions at the end of the book are really valuable and I like how they tie to the overall themes presented in the book. Overall a good read that makes you think what you can do better.

I wouldn't have bought it if I was more aware of the 2nd half of the book
The initial advice sounded to me like a management style that is contingently applicable. If you happen to have a particular set of employees and a particular management at a particular company, then this advice would be useful.
The one star is for filling the 2nd half of the book with dreck. The collected writings are blog post quality, thematically jump all over the place and some had a advertisement feel to them.

Very practical with great advice. Short and to the point.
I consider Notes to a Software Team Leader a great introduction into (team) leadership literature. It helps you identify which mode your team is in (most likely the detrimental survival mode, which appears 'normal', because it's so common) and gives practical advice on how to level up your team to the next mode. Once the team is stable, more in depth books, recommended in NTASTL, are helpful for further improvement and to understand the theory behind NTASTL.

Great insights
Definitely recommend this book. Great set of real world examples, that I could totally relate to. At the end, the author has invited other writers who are experts on this topic - great idea coz that adds so much diversity to the book. Definitely a must read for a budding team lead but also any lead!

Interesting read with some good real world experience
Interesting read with some good real world experience. Having read a number of blogs from Roy's website it was good to get some in-depth insight into some real work leadership issues.
I would recommend this book to any developer who has been pushed into a leadership no matter what the size of the team.
