I’m not too fond of books written by experts in a know-it-all, patronizing voice. Check out this blurb from a famous and multi-decorated software management guru:

Besides being targeted at other patronizing know-it-alls by a fellow patronizing know-it-all, one hidden assumption in these words is that “senior executives and managers” actually care about understanding and trying to solve the nasty socio-technical problems that are weaved into the fabric of every large software development project. Another unspoken assumption is that “senior executives and managers“, with their five minute attention spans and disdain for immersive and sustained thinking, would read a whole book – let alone a tome promoting yet another “successful” software development process.

I wish I could follow the sales chart for this book and the hierarchical rankings of those who bought it.
