The 11 secrets of highly influential IT leaders

I was sent this book, "The 11 Secrets of Highly Influential IT leaders" by Marc J. Schiller, as I was referenced towards the back of the book which was a pleasant and unexpected surprise. As a result I thought I would give it a go. Having read many IT and general management books I thought it would be good for those nights when getting to sleep can be difficult BUT I have to say this was not your typical management book and once started I needed to finish it.
It is a very easy to read book, about the right length and packed full (well 11 actually) of some extremely useful information.
Marc has done an excellent job in researching what makes a successful IT leader and put the answers into an easy to understand style that makes you want to start putting them into action straight away. They all make sense once you have read them and the actions are all very practical and straightforward so you don’t need to be a master of psychology or anything like that.
I thoroughly recommend this book to CIO’s, IT Directors, IT Managers, Programme and Project managers and those that want to aspire to those positions. I believe you will truly learn something from this book that will help you to become more successful.
I get no reward out of promoting this book and am doing so because I believe it has value to the IT management profession.
To make it easier for those people outside of the USA, Marc has given me a discount code which means that you can receive free international shipping on your order
