If you're a seasoned manager who wants to be more effective, or if you're considering moving into management, this book will show you what to do and how to do it effectively.Tags

The best part of this book is the practical sections in the back. Full of good templates for doing important things. The beginning of the book attempts to use a narrative style to explain why and when to use the practical sections. The trouble with the narrative style used is that the boss is perfect. Not just really good--perfect. The result being so artificial that it is hard to take the lessons seriously. Still worth the read, just wish it had been presented a little differently.
Some interesting checklists, but less than I hoped for from the Pragmatic Programmers.
