# Book & Audio Book: Notes to a Software Team Leader

By Roy Osherove August 19, 2013 In [book](https://osherove.com/blog/category/book)

**Historical article** · Originally published August 19, 2013; technical details may be outdated.

If you are a software team leader, architect, scrum master or project leader, you might be interested in the book [Notes to a Software Team Leader](http://teamleadskills.com/) which I have just finished.

The book contains important techniques and notes from some of the most thought provoking leaders in IT these days: Uncle Bob Martin, Dan North, Johanna Rothman, Kevlin Henney and many more.

Now, you can also listen to the book on your iPhone or Android. I had the book professionally narrated. You can listen to a sample of how it sounds on the audio book link below.

The book is available in two formats: 
\* [An ebook](http://teamleadskills.com/) 
\* [An Audio book](http://gum.co/TeamLeader) (4+ hours)

Here is what it sounds like:
