Product Description
The New High-Tech Manager: Six Rules for Success in Changing Times helps current and aspiring high-technology executives "get back to management basics" and rediscover the solid, timeless leadership skills needed to successfully lead a business into the next century. The book shows how to combine proven-under-fire management methods with technical training, why management fads and "quick fix" remedies just don't work, and provides six fundamental guidelines to follow for effective management: profit fixation; technical literacy; change dynamics insight; policy and procedure comprehension; decision theory knowledge; and character duality. The book is filled with helpful tips on how managers can use these six principles in solving everyday problems in the workplace.

There is nothing more difficult or sensitive in my business than decision making. The chapter on the "decision tree" alone, has made me a few million dollars. I would say that's a pretty good deal, and it had nothing to do with high technology.

My company was growing and we were experiencing some real challenges. I was confiding in a friend, a few of the problems we were experiencing, and he started quoting from one of the author's books. I purchased a copy of The New High Tech manager, and it's been by my side ever since.

There are truths here which should not be held simply within the management circle. Every aspiring technician should begin with this material. Its in-sight is practicle and easy to apply. Similar to some of the other readers, I keep it close by as a reference.

However, I do agree, that every manager should own a copy. There are elements of strength in this book that has been lacking in business leadership for a long time.

The only reason I did'nt give it a five is, contrary to what "Bo" might think, there is no such thing as a ten. This book should be on the desk of every manager, and it should appear to be well-worn. I refer to my copy constantly. Its application to day-to-day situations is phenominal. The time I used to spend thinking about how to solve, or even approach certain problems, I now spend thumbing through this book. It does not give me every answer, but usually provokes enough thought to point me in the right direction. OK, four and a half stars.
