Book Review: Managing Humans

In his first chapter, Lopp tells us what kind of book he is looking to create. He describes a tavern where colleagues get together to resolve the problems of the universe. The tone is irreverent, engaging, and informative.

Lopp provides pointers about how to handle different situations, but his focus is on communicating attitudes and values more than on providing direct advice.

Some types of lessons are best learned by sharing stories. As in his popular blog, Lopp's anecdotes provide us with a career's worth of insight into what it takes to connect with and manage people.
