Average rating4.4
Peopleware emphasizes the importance of understanding people's individual characteristics and building strong relationships between team members to help teams reach their goals. So-called jelled teams - self-managing and independent.
I learned that creating a productive team environment is about having the right tools and processes in place and understanding the individuals in the team and how they interact with each other. This book also provides strategies for improving teamwork, communication, motivation, and morale to help teams reach their goals. It also outlines how to create an environment where teams can thrive and be successful, and to be honest, this is something that has been nagging me for a long time but I couldn't put my finger on it - open offices are a bane of the modern workspaces and can either destroy or improve collaboration, so it's important to pay attention to that as well.
Peopleware is a must-read for anyone in the workplace, from executives and managers to employees. It is a great resource for those who want to understand how to create productive projects and teams and is also beneficial for those who want to learn more about how to effectively manage and lead teams and foster an atmosphere of collaboration and cooperation.
I don't really disagree with anything said in the book. But also I don't feel I learned much from the book. It was well written in the sense that they made their points clearly and straightforwardly. However it used a breezy wordy informal writing style. Maybe if I really was a manager I'd find it more insightful ;)

10 lat temu ta książka byłaby dla mnie objawieniem. Dzisiaj nadal w większości jej treść się broni, ale sporo tematów traci na aktualności (bo praca zdalna), a część to już w ogóle zwykle dziaderstwo (jak weekendowe hackathony czy uwagi o kobietach w miejscu pracy, WTF).
