Slack: Getting Past Burnout, Busywork, and the Myth of Total Efficiency by Tom DeMarco

5.0

Every page in this book is pure gold. I couldn't put it down; there is sage wisdom in every chapter of this book for technology businesses. I was struck by how simple some of the ideas he presents are, but also at how engrained the complete opposite of those ideas can be in corporate culture. There's a lot of "uncommon" sense in this book. I feel like it deserves a place on every manager's bookshelf and should be re-read frequently. I highly recommend this book if you are a knowledge worker or manage knowledge workers.
