User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐First of all, I’m not sure if this book was edited at all. There were typos and grammatical errors every few pages, which distracted from the overall experience. Organizationally it was also fairly haphazard, with things like “Frustration #17” referencing “Solution #38”, which had not been explained yet. Perhaps it would serve better as a general reference as opposed to a book that you read cover to cover.With all of that said, Jarie outlines some decent best practices around technical management, even if he doesn’t really add anything new or different from other resources. If you know absolutely nothing about technical management or management in general, you might get something out of this book. Otherwise I would look elsewhere.

⭐There are the books you read, and then there are the books that change your life. We can all look back on the books that have shaped our perspective on politics, religion, money and love. And, this is a great book on management.It is a fantastic read for the first time managers as well as the more experienced.Author’s advices and suggestions are simply excellent! Written in a very open, friendly and accesible language, this is the book on how to be a successful manager and how to get things done. The book is written in a very positive tone – looking to help the manager to remain positive as well as motivate, develop and get the best out of people. I very much like how the frustrations and solutions are numbered – perfect for my technical mind.I suspect this is the kind of book I will keep re-reading every so often.

⭐The spelling and grammar is quite poor and it feels like a slapped together collection of random thoughts about management. I stopped reading about a quarter of the way through because I felt like it was a waste of my time.

⭐I work with a lot of technical people and this book has helped me understand how to manage them a lot better. The biggest problem I face is that I sometimes get impatient when tasks don’t get done right away. After reading Frustration Free Technical Management, I realized that the frustrations I feel are inside of me and that I need to adjust my perspective to allow those around me to do the work. This has reduced my frustrations considerably and led to happier interactions with my staff.The great thing about this book is that it has easily digestible content that gives some good examples of real-world situations where frustrations can build up. Once you understand that others have the same frustrations as you do, it’s a lot easier to find common ground and get on to building fantastic products.I would highly recommend Frustration Free Technical Management 2nd edition to anyone who has to manage technical people.

⭐I’m not an engineer, but my husband has been one for over 15 years, so I have heard all his frustrations and gripes and annoyances with his managers, with coworkers, with himself. I want to buy a copy of this book for EVERY person at his company so everyone knows how to deal with each other effectively. I have read this book twice and learned different things both times. I’m convinced once my husband reads this he will have a major AHA moment … like opening his eyes to The Matrix!A must-have on every technical manager’s bookshelf!

⭐As an engineer-turned-manager, it was really nice to see a book specifically written for me. No stuffy MBA stuff, just real advice which obviously came from real-world experience.It’s also nice to see a management book for knowledge workers as opposed to blue-collar workers. Smart people in a creative field have different problems and options, so traditional “how to lead” stuff never rang true for me.I like that the book is organized as “Have problem X? Here’s 5 solutions.” This makes it readable the first time as well as an easy reference guide later on.I do wish there were more examples to go along with the tips. The tips are good and clear, but sometimes a story about how it was applied in a real situation helps you to understand how to apply it yourself.

⭐I have spent several years as an engineering manager learning things the hard way. I wish I had this book when I started in management, as it would have been a very helpful guide.The book is well-organized and provides a structured approach to technical management. I appreciate the concise solutions to many issues a manager will face. This book has taught me some new and beneficial techniques, and I would highly recommend it to all managers, whether new or seasoned.

⭐Boy, my only regret is that this book didn’t come out sooner. I know several engineering managers who could have benefited from Mr. Bolander. While not the only book on engineering management in my shelf, it surely is an important one. Showing the major causes of problems in an engineering environment, solutions and strategies are explained in a simple no-nonsense manor.A recommended reading for those who either manage or think management is easy.
