Re:best management book ever...EVER! (Score 1)

Here here! Great book! Other books I recommend:

• Coping with Difficult People by Robert Bramson
• Mythical Man Month by Frederick Brooks
• Peopleware by Tom DeMarco and Timothy Lister
• 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey
• Getting Things Done by David Allen

Good luck. I was a manager for 2 years and then switched to an "individual contributor" role (in a different group) because I hated doing things like resource management, schedule updates, performance reviews, and dealing with politics, and I really missed doing engineering.
