Ask HN: Where can I find practical, no-fluff management advice?
Any books, blogs, podcasts,... would be helpful!

Best book for management.
Also, we have platform where users can create collections from their favorite articles, videos etc.
Here's 2 different collection about Leadership
https://jooseph.com/modules/91
https://jooseph.com/modules/69
I like those collections but to be honest the book is must. Collections are just easy to access
[!] 1) The 360° Leader, John C. Maxwell
2) Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, Daniel H. Pink
3) The Alliance: Managing Talent in the Networked Age, Reid Hoffman & Ben Casnocha & Chris Yeh
[!] 4) It's Your Ship: Management Techniques from the Best Damn Ship in the Navy, Michael Abrashoff
5) Reinventing Organizations: A Guide to Creating Organizations Inspired by the Next Stage of Human Consciousness, Frederic Laloux
6) Immature People with Power How to Handle Them, Larry Mullins
7) Games People Play: The Psychology of Human Relationships, Eric Berne
In no particular order. That kind of list could be endless, but 1-7 I consider the most important ones (you can throw away (5) if you aren't interested in how to simplify corp structures) regarding shaping anyone into a reasonable leader. It's all about: attitude, values, understanding oneself and other people.
The only reason I'm putting all of this here is because it's a good investment. I hope you will read those, because I don't recommend stuff I know nothing about to random people ;) This world desperately needs better managers, not another infantile prick who thinks he gets it (I'm not pointing that to @OP directly, it's a more general problem). Again, I can only hope that the 10 minutes I've spent here are going to blossom in the future as at least one good guy who knows what he is doing because he thinks about what he's going to do beforehand. If that's not going to happen that's going to be on you (and I will find you and then we're going to have an unpleasant conversation). Meanwhile, I highly recommend the mentioned books and reading in general. This is how you can easily distinguish yourself from a herd of management sheeple who consider reading to be harmful for their egos ;) Howk!
A general tip: I've written "books, obviously", because management is on of those disciplines where there ARE good books, as well as good trainings available. The books route is far less expensive, it's as good as let's say expensive couching, and there's some space between the lines in books in general one can utilize for thinking for oneself!
All of the above comes form my own experience.
