Overview:

Leadership training experts Karin Hurt and David Dye provide such a roadmap, giving current and aspiring managers the tools needed to achieve consistent excellence. The authors encourage managers to extend their time horizon beyond the next monthly or quarterly earnings report, and to think about how to build teams that create long-lasting value, whose members reinforce one another, and that are interdependent. “Where other manager types tend to focus on short-term goals, managers who win well have a longer time horizon,” say Hurt and Dye. “They build teams that will produce results today as well as next year. Winning well means sustaining excellence over time.”

Overview:

This is a wonderful and highly practical book. Within hours of putting it down I was already putting some of its advice into practice. A highly thought–provoking book, arguing, for instance, that agility is more attitude than process and more environment than methodology. Because of the complexity of today’s software projects, one new product development project can rarely be viewed as a repeat of a prior project. This makes Highsmith’s advice to favor a reliable process over a repeatable one particularly timely and important.Interwoven into the book is a dialog between two project managers, one an agile development manager and the other a more traditional manager.
