Peopleware

I believe that people who are learning and growing at work, are going to be more productive and positive.  To that end, the BuildLinks technology leadership team is reading Peopleware, by Tom DeMarco and Tim Lister.  It's a classic book on technology team management. Tom DeMarco has written several great books and articles and I am a big fan.

I first read Peopleware when it first came out years ago.  Re-reading it now has reminded me how deeply it has influenced my thinking on technology management.  I don't agree with everything in the book, but over my career I have found that most of their insights are spot on.
