I read this excerpt today from the Dynamics of Software Development that struck a chord.
"The visionary leader will conceive of a future reality that must be created by the effort of the community, while the demagogue will perceive a need to remove something from the current situation." - Jim McCarthy
I highlighted the line years ago - probably back in 1996.
I did a search on this book today at Amazon and it turns out they just released a 2006 Edition. I had no idea. I ordered it immediately without any further question, I'm excited to get the book.. The original book is still on my personal list of top 10 programming books and I'm curious to see if the new book lives up to the original.
