This whole damn list can be boiled down to "how to communicate effectively" and isn't very actionable at all by the reader. Which isn't too much of a surprise to me because that's the exact way I felt reading Manager's Path. It's even a bit insulting that it's targeted at engineers, furthering the narrative that engineers are bad communicators.
Much better books in this space are "The Making of a Manager" by Julie Zhuo and "Elegant Puzzle" by Will Larson. Both very insightful and actionable. The latter is a bit dense though.

4. How to indulge a superior who wants to talk about stuff that they don’t really understand, without rolling your eyes or making them feel stupid
