This small book only tells few points but very important ones about how to be a better manager and more capable team member.
I realise, when I am member, I do throw a lot of monkeys to my lead because of conditions: - my position in company is too low to make the decision - I do not have enough context when cooprating with other teams, but my boss knew better - I have many options, do not know which one is better due to lack of context, or experiences - I tried grab my monkey, but my boss always say my way of grabing was not right, and didn't mentor me, and wither grab the monkey by himself or think I am not capable, which made me upset - or my boss just think I don't have the capability and grab monkey away directly Well... to be a better team member, maybe dependends on the boss.
And when I am a team lead, I do allow the monkey climb to my shoulder, but I didn't even realize it. Util I read this book.
