Putt's Law and the Successful Technocrat How to Win in the Information Age [Hardcover]

Early Praise for Putt's Law and the Successful Technocrat:

This is management writing the way it ought to be. Think Dilbert, but with
a very big brain. Read it and weep. Or laugh, depending on your current job
situation.
—Spectral Lines, IEEE Spectrum, April 2006

It's a classic. It reads at first like humor, but one eventually realizes
that it's all true. The first edition changed my life. I loaned my copy to
a subordinate at IBM, and he didn't return it to me until he was my boss.
—Dave Thompson, PhD, IBM Fellow (retired), Member National Academy of
Engineering, and IEEE Fellow

Putt's humor ranges from sharp to whimsical and is always on target.
Readers will be reminded of many personal experiences and of lessons in
life they wish they had learned earlier in their careers.
—Eric Herz, former IEEE executive director and general manager

Anyone who thinks 'engineering management' is an oxymoron needs to read
this terrific book — then they will know.
—Norman R. Augustine, author of Augustine's Laws and retired Chairman & CEO
of Lockheed Martin Corporation
