HHMI and BWF have recently published a book on lab management: Making the Right Moves: A Practical Guide to Scientific Management for Postdocs and New Faculty.
 
"As a beginning academic scientist, you face a variety of challenges in setting up your laboratory. Good research skills are only one part of the formula for success. You have to hire and lead a research team, find grant support, publish, teach, mentor--and all the while work toward tenure. This book will help you think strategically.
 
"Making the Right Moves is a collection of practical advice, experiences, and opinions from seasoned biomedical investigators and other professionals. Based on presentations and discussions from a course developed by the Burroughs Wellcome Fund and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, it is a valuable reource on scientific management for any tenure-track laboratory researcher at a university of medical center."
