I am somewhat new in my department. The insight I gained from this material will provide me with the baseline my boss does not have in terms of running and controlling my department.

I’ve been in the business for over 30 years and there were reminders of details I've long since forgotten. Very thorough.

It is obvious the author has been in management a long time. He hits a lot of areas that I have never thought of.

This book is an introduction for managers to the shark-infested waters of an information technology department (IT). I intentionally use the analogy of a shark infestation because most of the time, IT managers do not realize they are in trouble until the end of their careers. There may be trouble lurking all around them, but because they only look directly ahead, they do not see the peril behind or below.

If, however, they took the same viewpoint as a camera crew hovering safely overhead in a helicopter, their outlook would be much different. With a 360-degree, three-dimensional view, they can see the dangers surrounding the people in the water and take steps to protect them.

This book offers you the perspective of someone who has successfully navigated the treacherous waters both in and around a modern IT department. It can serve as a gateway for your career, whether you are just starting out or are recovering from a nasty experience caused by someone else’s poor decision. Experience is a wonderful teacher—so let my nearly 30 years of experience help your career flourish.

If you have been newly promoted to a position of leadership in an IT department, or were recently hired as an IT manager, this book is for you!

If you are working in the IT arena as an engineer, architect, developer, or administrator, and are looking to stand out from the crowd by understanding the ins and outs of IT management, then this book will help you achieve that goal.

If you are already an experienced IT manager, other readers of this book will benefit from your insight into how the concepts and theories presented here have been implemented in your organization. Join in the conversation at www.EllisonJLee.com. The mastermind groups available there will help you as you progress through your career, as well as when you find yourself ready to change employers.

What if you are an IT manager in a top Fortune-ranked company? While your organization may have already fully implemented and adopted the concepts and theories discussed in this book, the members of the mastermind groups at www.EllisonJLee.com, especially the IT Birds of a Feather group, will benefit from your insight. Help out where you can—in this small world of ours, you never know when you might find yourself in the water rather than the helicopter.
