DeMarco and Lister&#x27;s &quot;Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams&quot; was published way back in 1987 with 2 new editions over the years.<p>And even the first edition untouched is still completely relevant.<p>While its focus is &quot;getting teams to work well together and develop good software&quot;, I think it has excellent viewpoints and advice for any workplace where people use their brains for a living, regardless of what the company does.<p>I&#x27;d also like to add &quot;Debugging the Development Process: Practical Strategies for Staying Focused, Hitting Ship Dates, and Building Solid Teams&quot; by Steve Maguire.
