Most project managers overemphasize the use of task lists, Gantt charts, Budgets, and schedules as the means to successful project delivery, but these are just tools. Ultimately, all projects succeed or fail based on the work of people - the work of geeks who must be led, not just managed.
Von Paul Glen im Buch Leading Geeks (2003) Zusammenfassungen
This book is intended as a how-to guide for those who lead, manage, oversee, invest, or participate in technology projects.

Von Klappentext im Buch Leading Geeks (2003) In today's business climate, technology drives productivity, and competitiveness and 'geeks' drive technology.

Bemerkungen zu diesem Buch
Das Buch ist für mich aus verschiedenen Gründen spannend:
Von Beat Döbeli Honegger, erfasst im Biblionetz am 03.08.2005- Ich habe sicherlich Geek-Anteile in mir. Das Buch kann also auch zur Selbstreflexion beitragen.
- Ich habe beruflich mit Geeks zu tun. Zunehmend auch auf einer Management-Basis.
- Ich bewege mich derzeit in einer Branche (Hochschule und Schule), die nicht nur bisher fast keine Geeks enthält, sondern die auch den Menschentyp Geek bisher praktisch nicht kennt. Dies ergibt spannende, aber auch konfliktreiche Situationen.
Why do we need a special book devoted only to geeks when bookstore shelves are groaning under the weight of leadership books already? In part because many of those books make the point implicitly or explicitly that whom you are leading is essentially irrelevant and that effective leaders can lead anyone. But leading geeks is, in fact, different from leading others. There are three distinct reasons to look at geek leadership differently from more traditional approaches:
Von Paul Glen im Buch Leading Geeks (2003) im Text Geeks, Leadership, and Geek Leadership auf Seite 11- Geeks are different from other people.
- Geekwork is different from other work.
- Power is useless with geeks.

As long as a leader believes that he can control geekwork, the inherently uncontrollable, he's going to be swimming upstream, fighting reality.

Beat und dieses Buch
Beat war Co-Leiter des ICT-Kompetenzzentrums TOP während er dieses Buch ins Biblionetz aufgenommen hat. Die bisher letzte Bearbeitung erfolgte während seiner Zeit am Institut für Medien und Schule. Beat besitzt ein physisches und ein digitales Exemplar. (das er aber aus Urheberrechtsgründen nicht einfach weitergeben darf). Aufgrund der vielen Verknüpfungen im Biblionetz scheint er sich intensiver damit befasst zu haben. Beat hat dieses Buch auch schon in Blogpostings erwähnt.
