"Technology is dominated by two types of people: those who
understand what
they do not manage, and those who manage what they do not
understand."
--Putt's Law
Early Praise for Putt's Law and the Successful Technocrat:
"This is management writing the way it ought to be. Think
Dilbert, but with
a very big brain. Read it and weep. Or laugh, depending on your
current job
situation."
--Spectral Lines, IEEE Spectrum, April 2006
"It's a classic. It reads at first like humor, but one
eventually realizes
that it's all true. The first edition changed my life. I loaned my
copy to
a subordinate at IBM, and he didn't return it to me until he was my
boss."
--Dave Thompson, PhD, IBM Fellow (retired), Member National
Academy of
Engineering, and IEEE Fellow
"Putt's humor ranges from sharp to whimsical and is always on
target.
Readers will be reminded of many personal experiences and of
lessons in
life they wish they had learned earlier in their careers."
--Eric Herz, former IEEE executive director and general
manager
"Anyone who thinks 'engineering management' is an oxymoron needs
to read
this terrific book -- then they will know."
--Norman R. Augustine, author of Augustine's Laws and retired
Chairman & CEO
of Lockheed Martin Corporation
Putt's Law is as true today as it was when techno-everyman
Archibald Putt
first stated it. Now, in Putt's Law and the Successful Technocrat:
How to
Win in the Information Age, Putt is back with the unvarnished truth
about
success in the modern, technology-driven organization.
As you learn the real rules of the technology world, you'll meet
such
characters as the successful technocrat, Dr. I. M. Sharp. You'll
find out
how he wrangles career victories from corporate failures,
nearly
bankrupting the firm with his projects while somehow emerging the
hero.
You'll also meet such unfortunates as Roger Proofsworthy,
top-level
perfectionist yet low in the hierarchy, and come to understand how
he
assiduously preserves his spot near the bottom of the totem
pole.
Whether you work in business, IT, or are a freelance technocrat,
you'll
want to study Putt's hard-won wisdom and laugh--all the way to
the bank!
