商品描述

Read hilarious stories with serious lessons that Michael Lopp extracts from his varied and sometimes bizarre experiences as a manager at Apple, Pinterest, Palantir, Netscape, Symantec, Slack, and Borland. Many of the stories first appeared in primitive form in Lopp’s perennially popular blog, Rands in Repose. The Third Edition of Managing Humans contains a whole new season of episodes from the ongoing saga of Lopp's adventures in Silicon Valley, together with classic episodes remastered for high fidelity and freshness.

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 amid the general craziness of dysfunctional bright people caught up in the chase of riches and power. Scattered in repose among these manic misfits are managers, an even stranger breed of people who, through a mystical organizational ritual, have been given power over the futures and the bank accounts of many others.

Lopp's straight-from-the-hip style is unlike that of any other writer on management and leadership. He pulls no punches and tells stories he probably shouldn't. But they are magically instructive and yield Lopp’s trenchant insights on leadership that cut to the heart of the matter―whether it's dealing with your boss, handling a slacker, hiring top guns, or seeing a knotty project through to completion.

Writing code is easy. Managing humans is not. You need a book to help you do it, and this is it.

Who This Book Is For

Managers and would-be managers staring at the role of a manager wondering why they would ever leave the safe world of bits and bytes for the messy world of managing humans. The book covers handling conflict, managing wildly differing personality types, infusing innovation into insane product schedules, and figuring out how to build a lasting and useful engineering culture.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

閱讀米高·洛普(Michael Lopp)從他在 Apple、Pinterest、Palantir、Netscape、Symantec、Slack 和 Borland 的多樣且有時奇特的管理經歷中提煉出的幽默故事,這些故事中蘊含著嚴肅的教訓。許多故事最初以原始形式出現在洛普持續受歡迎的部落格《Rands in Repose》中。《管理人類》(Managing Humans)第三版包含了洛普在矽谷冒險故事的新一季集數,以及經過高保真和新鮮感重製的經典集數。

無論你是有志成為經理的新人、現任經理,還是單純想知道經理一天到底在做什麼,這本書中都有一個故事會引起你的共鳴——並幫助你在追逐財富和權力的失能聰明人之間的瘋狂中生存和繁榮。在這些瘋狂的怪胎中,散落著經理們,這是一種更奇特的人群,透過一種神秘的組織儀式,他們被賦予了對許多其他人未來和銀行帳戶的權力。

洛普的直言不諱風格與其他管理和領導作家的風格截然不同。他不留情面,講述一些他可能不該講的故事。但這些故事具有神奇的啟發性,並提供了洛普對領導的深刻見解,直指問題的核心——無論是如何應對你的上司、處理懶散者、招聘頂尖人才,還是將棘手的項目推進到完成。
