I mentioned this a few weeks ago - now I'm sure. If you only buy and read one book on IT management this year, it should be
by Robert Handler and Bryan Maizlish. I'm only a ways into it, but it's already demonstrated tremendous insight. The introductory summation of just how bad things generally are in enterprise IT is worth the price alone.
If you are in IT management or concerned with the architecture of IT enablement systems - buy it. Now!
