Good read but still IT focused Jan 30, 2009 I am handing this book out to some of our clients. It's a great read and definitely bridges the communications gap. I still think it's too technical in areas, but even if the clients just skim the material it will improve our relationship with them.
Good Insights for Non-Technical Leaders Aug 19, 2008 I was searching for resources that would help explain technology concepts in a straight-forward and uncomplicated manner to my non-technical peers when I came across "Boiling the IT Frog". After reading the book, I decided to purchase additional copies to share. Mr. Thrasher has done a very nice job at not only explaining key aspects of technology he has also provided solid insights regarding the individuals who have chosen technology as a profession - very helpful for those folks who just don't get technology and technical people.
This book also provides some good insights for the technical staff - helping them understand what it means to be a "wizard" and why that's not necessarily a good thing. The book provides good lessons for the business - the total business.
Higly recommend Aug 12, 2008 Whether you are new to IT management or a season veteran you will gain a alot of knowledge from this book. I recommend it to all my colleagues as well as my direct reports so that they can gain a better understanding of how to maximize IT to partner with the business

If your looking at moving up the ladder or having trouble with your IT staff get this book. Oct 28, 2007 Working as a support agent for a good number of years you start to pick things. This book points out a lot of the obvious, but goes on to explain why it is the way it is. I have and would recommend this book to anyone who is looking to progress their IT department or have a problem with their IT department. The book talks from high level, so if your looking for a technical manual this isn't your book. Great graduation present for any computer/management major.

kris Sep 22, 2007 Great Reading! Should be read by all IT professionals, Business users and management. If only we come to realization - IT is for solving business problems, not IT for the sake of IT, we would be in great shape today.. But I think, this book is a step forward in that direction.
