I enjoyed "A philosophy of software design" by John K Ousterhout https://www.worldcat.org/title/philosophy-of-software-design... just be forewarned that at 180 pages, it's a lot more aspirational than instructive. It depends on what kind of organizational problem you're having: lack of experience, lack of interest, lack of discipline, lack of buy-in, or $other
