Summary: Great management book
Comment: This is a great book for someone who's looking for cases and practical ideas. It doesn't give any numerical analyses or "magical" formulas. It's a guide for project managers and how to manage different people with different skills and professional perspectives.

Rating: 5
Summary: Great book on Management!
Comment: This book is a great book for anyone who currently manages and wants to understand how to get the most out of his team. It has plenty of great suggestions to improve people-development as well as process-development. But more important than the suggestions, this book explains why and how certain courses of action succeed while others fail.

Too often technical people are promoted into management with no training. One cannot learn how to manage by merely performing technical tasks. One can learn by reading books like this one.

Rating: 1
Summary: If Humphrey was my manager I'd quit
Comment: Some of what he writes is correct, some of it is malarky. I read the entire book hoping he reveal some valuable information. Nope. Worse, in that his methods destroy morale. He seems to think that being a tyrant is the way to get a project done. Ive seen plenty of tyrants fail. Dont waste your time. Try reading Steve McConnel and Tom Demarco instead. (Peopleware and Rapid development)
