Today's new breed of technologically gifted employees often think and respond differently than their more traditional counterparts did.

Managing Einsteins
Rating: * (Excrement)
Pretty meaningless book. Takes a view of the "IT" staff as some half-gods and tries to make a case on how bad managers should handle them, instead of trying to make "bad" managers into "reasonable good" ones.
In the end, this is crap, nicely packaged.
