Book review: Managing Humans
Thursday, December 27th, 2007Recently started reading this interesting non-mechanical book on people management written by Michael Lopp. I borrowed from him the term “mechanical” manager to describe his book as non-mechanical. The second chapter “Managers are no Evil” is worth alone as it provides a simple answer to venerable question asked by engineers: “What does my manager do?”… The stories in this book come from software engineering companies ranging from startups to big ones. Highly recommended for software and technical support engineers and team leaders promoted to management positions to get insight into their new role, avoid mistakes and blow-ups.
