How to Manage and Lead People Who Deliver Technology

Since in 2003, Leading Geeks, has been transforming the way managers think about their technology teams.  With multiple awards and ongoing popularity, it has become a classic in leadership literature.

Technology drives productivity and competitiveness and “geeks” drive technology.  More than ever Geeks — those people who research, develop, design, build, test, install, and support technology — are a critical factor in every organization’s success.  Leading Geeks challenges the conventional wisdom that leadership methods are universal and gives executives and managers the understanding they need to manage and lead the technologists upon whom they have become so dependent.
