Reviews
"The Geek Gap is thoroughly original, virtually unique, of paramount importance and, on top of ALL that, a 'great read.' Bill Pfleging and Minda Zetlin deserve a giant 'Hats off' for this wonderful piece of work." TOM PETERS "Though the husband-and-wife authors offer tips for both techies and management on how to bridge the gap and thus avoid business failures, they spend most of this thoughtful if not wholly practical book affectionately parsing geek culture....Pfleging and Zetlin provide sensible advice...but the book's real virtue is its anthropological insight into the people writing code." PUBLISHERS WEEKLY "The Geek Gap isn't just for those who have to manage technology and technologists in their offices. It's should be mandatory reading for everyone in corporate America. There's practical, useful material here that will help you bridge the gap, raise morale, and improve your bottom line." SREE SREENIVASAN, WABC-TV's Tech Guru and Columbia University New Media Professor, ""The Geek Gap is thoroughly original, virtually unique, of paramount importance and, on top of ALL that, a 'great read.'

Spot On!
I'm on the tech side. I have gone from job to job and always had the same problem, communication with the 'suits.' This book does a wonderful job of explaining how we think and work differently. This is a must for any company who wants any type if internet or computer work. A+++
