There's a new book on team leadership available - I haven't read it yet but I know and respect the writer, and I was also interviewed for this book. It might be of interest to some people here:

Amazon tells me my copy is already on the way. Smile

I've read the book halfway now, it's great. I'll take it with me to next week's gathering so if you want to take a peek at what's inside don't be shy, just come talk to me. I'll be holding a white-red book in my hand for recognition. Smile

I also ordered a copy, but haven't started reading yet. I have high hopes for this one based on Lasse's recommendations, but also due to the fact that it's specifically "leadership in games industry" and not jut another leadership book.

Hope it'll be as good as promised Smile

You can't go wrong - at the very least you can be certain that it's the world's best book in the category. Wink

Unfortunately I'm swamped with work and can't make it tonight. Jay will be around with the book though if you want to take a peek!

Lasse actually couldn't make it tonight due force majeure. But I promised him I'd be bringing a copy of the book to show to anyone interested.

If you don't recognize me then I guess you need to visit IGDA more often & pay our website closer attention. In that case shame on you Smile and see the 'about us' -page & the coordinator group photo: http://igda.fi/?page_id=4

edit: Ups, double post with Lasse Smile
