When hired they assess what is a common knowledge and skills in the given industry or industry segment. Typical example is mastering C++ programming and its features up to C++ standard. Another example is Windows internals to enhance debugging skills if the company develops Windows software. Sometime strategic learning stems from the desire to gain deep insights or to be a better contractor or a technology expert. Other people learn tactically, for example, the hiring company product internals. Some people take balanced approach. Some do not learn anything but this is another story, see my previous post about process parasites.

I read it last semester as I work full-time and school part-time. I liked the first section but as I read more into it I felt like I was in a psychology/personality course. This is definitly a good book to read if you have to deal with many groups and people in your daily technical job but kinda a boring read. But that is only my opinion and I am 1 of how many people in the world?!! Thanks Robert I have read this book myself. I read it last semester as I work full-time and school part-time.
