Thriving in the Middle - Why Managers Need to Be Coaching Each Other

Summary

How does your company train its operational-level managers? Do they go offsite, learn new information from a management expert, receive a training manual, or something similar? Most businesses fall into this development category, treating managers as our academic system treats students. The results, unfortunately, consist of short-lived bursts of enthusiasm and little measurable improvement, in part due to the lack of day-to-day applicability and personal accountability. 
Thriving in the Middle looks to replace this ineffective version of management development with a more culturally founded, experience-dependent model. Based on decades of leadership experience and breakthrough studies, Mike Cook establishes the case for "Distributed Development Communities," in which application takes place in a near-real-time, experiential environment using actual situations faced. In this model, process-driven development is more frequent and delivered in small doses, and operational-level managers are coached and groomed to become great operational-level managers without the subtext of upward advancement. Learn the attributes and processes of better management improvement. Your bottom line and your front line will thank you for it.

    Starting a software development project is easy … but finishing it? Successfully? is a different story. Software CAN be developed that meets real needs and its development can be both efficient and effective. But. You have to know what you are up against. You need to know what questions to ask and how to understand the answers. 
A non-technical manager, business owner, or SaaS founder who is responsible for the creation of a software system has a problem. A big problem. Crafting a software system is a complex process fraught with unexpected difficulties, impenetrable jargon, and hidden risks. Overwhelming. 
Adrift in a "fog of ignorance." You don't even know what you don't know ... 
The depth of those gaps in your knowledge may be substantial, but they can be filled selectively by reading/learning or by hiring the expertise. But in that "fog of ignorance" there is not even enough information to guide the learning or hiring. 
This book burns off that fog to at least get you the clarity on what your "gaps in knowledge" are. 
This book is intended for non tech SaaS founders, managers, and owner/operators who do not have a technical background but who are in a position that includes leading one or more technical projects. A great gift for your PHB. 
Dr Will has a BS, MS, and PhD all in Computer Science as well as 40+ years managing software projects in the US Air Force, Texas Instruments, Raytheon, Collective Technologies, Club Corp, STX Cadware, and his own business Paladin Logic, Ltd. Dr Will was a pioneer in online instruction for the US Air Force, and has taught courses in Computer Science and Software Engineering at The Air Force Institute of Technology, Navel Postgraduate School, Southern Methodist University, Central Michigan University, and the University of Dallas.

    Political Economy

    "Political Economy" is a collection of essays by the French economist and writer Frederic Bastiat. The book was first published in 1850 and contains some of Bastiat's most famous essays, including "The Law" and "What Is Seen and What Is Not Seen." 
In "Political Economy," Bastiat argues for free-market economics and limited government intervention in the economy. He critiques protectionist policies and argues that free trade leads to greater economic growth and prosperity. He also discusses the role of government in providing public goods and services, such as infrastructure and education. 
One of Bastiat's most famous essays, "The Law," argues that the purpose of the law is to protect individual rights and that any government action that goes beyond this is a violation of those rights. He also discusses the concept of "legal plunder," which occurs when the government takes from some individuals to give to others, and argues that this is unjust and counterproductive. 
Overall, "Political Economy" is a seminal work in the field of economics and a classic of classical liberal thought. It continues to be studied and debated today for its insights into free-market economics and the role of government in the economy.
