Description

How many times do corporate executives and others look at the phenomenal success of Microsoft and wonder why they can't do the same for their own companies? They can. And this book shows how. Written by a Microsoft insider, it provides a behind-the-scenes look at the close-knit corporate culture and the unique management style that have evolved and flourished at Microsoft. Thielen has uncovered the management secrets that have allowed this one-of-a-kind company to attract and keep the right kind of people, go after and get market share, allow quick failures in the name of the greater good (while encouraging fun at all times), generate near-total devotion from employees... and keep on growing. These surprisingly simple secrets can unlock unlimited potential in any size company, in virtually any industry. David Thielen (Boulder, CO) spent over three successful years at Microsoft as a senior developer, programmer, and product manager in Microsoft's Far East division.
