An Elegant Puzzle

Just like with all my books, I tried listening to the audiobook (from audible) and I stopped after listening for an hour. For me, the narrator sounds like a robot at times, which somehow annoys me (I was surprised to see that it's actually a person, not a robot). When it comes to the actual content, I found that the narrative style is awkward and offputting. The techniques themselves might be useful for a manager of managers, but I'm already getting that information from other sources.

I ended up writing three blog posts about this book, which means I must have liked it.

I enjoyed reading this book and found it to be a helpful resource on systems engineering and management. The book offers a clear and concise overview of systems engineering and management principles, and provides helpful real-world examples to illustrate key concepts. This book would be a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about these topics.

I do not aspire to be a manager, however I wanted to read this book. I wanted to get to know what type of problems you might face as a manager.
Despite this, the book was useful for me. I am always allowed suggesting how we can improve our processes and what we should change.
If you are a manager, I would recommend this book to you; if you are not you also should read this book. You do not have to read the whole content (some subchapters are written precisely for managers), but after reading you should know better why some actions had been executed, why some operations are necessary, and the most important: how to get along with your manager.
