What is relationship between agile and OOP?

Good books or tips on managing agile enterprise software teams?

• I'm about to start a new job managing multiple software teams working on a high-profile commercial web app. What can I read to get into the right head space to succeed? I have management experience and agile process experience, but for the last few years have taken a detour into managing a very small team where I also had time to code and didn't have to focus on leadership and process as much. I am a big believer in work-life balance and don't plan to micromanage people's hours or other habits. Before I start, I'd like to do some reading on how to successfully manage teams that are already fairly self-organized. I've read stuff like Succeeding With Agile and Coaching Agile Teams, and don't need more about Scrum/Agile process. Things I want to know more about: - general people skills and navigating various factions and interests in a large organization - how to get better at listening first, then acting - thoughts about tech personality types and dealing with them - walking the line of staying technically sharp "enough" without getting into the weeds and neglecting the big picture More about the specific group: - has had a lot of recent growth, so there's a clique of old-timers and a bunch of newer people - low turnover among tech people I think - has had several managers come and go and is currently being managed from higher up (director level) - I think earning their trust is the key first objective - I'll manage 15+ people (2 teams), but in total there are 30+ people on the 4-5 teams all working on one product. - Another manager will get hired to manage the others. I know the relationship between that person and me will be key. Assume I haven't read many general management books. I have a relaxed style and good communication skills but I want to get off on the right foot. Blogs or other articles (podcasts maybe?) are welcome, as are your general thoughts or experiences in this area.
