To produce high-quality software, we need high-quality, effective managers. Becoming such a manager is the subject of this third stand-alone volume in Gerald Weinberg's highly acclaimed series.To be effective, managers must act congruently. That is, managers must not only understand the concepts of good software engineering, but also practice them, which sounds easier than it is in practice. Standing in the way is a lot of emotional baggage that we all carry, the author asserts, and congruence is the way to cope with our emotional baggage.Congruence has the sense of "fitting" -- in this case simultaneously fitting your own needs, the needs of the other people involved, and the contextual needs (in business, for example, the business needs). Examples, diagrams, and tools such as the Myers-Briggs indicator fortify the author's recommendations. No library descriptions found. |

Weinberg began working with computers at their literal dawn and became a guru first at IBM ... and then when he applied the principles of the pioneering family therapist Virginia Satir to the workplace via a consulting practice, and indeed improved the work and personal lives of innumerable people worldwide, including me. This volume is about congruence -- matching one’s interior (thoughts and feelings) to their exterior (words and behaviors). ( )
