He pulls no punches and tells stories he probably shouldn't. Lopp's straight-from-the-hip style is unlike any other writer on management. Whether you're an aspiring manager, a current manager, or just wondering what the heck a manager does all day, there is a story in this book that will speak to you-and help you survive and prosper amongst the general craziness. Among these people are managers, a strange breed of people who, through a mystical organizational ritual, have been given power over the future and bank accounts of many others. It is a place full of dysfunctional bright people who are in an incredible hurry to find the next big thing so they can strike it rich and then do it all over again. This book is full of stories based on companies in the Silicon Valley where people have been known to yell at each other and occasionally throw chairs. The humor and insights in the 2nd Edition of Managing Humans are drawn from Michael Lopp's management experiences at Apple, Netscape, Symantec, and Borland, among others.
