Four essentials of good management
In The Deadline, Tom DeMarco tells stories to pass on wisdom, like this one:
Four essentials of good management:
· Get the right people.
· Match them to the right jobs.
· Keep them motivated
· Help their teams to jell and stay jelled
(All the rest is Administrivia)
(for Dutch readers: to jell = vorm geven, vorm krijgen)
