Almost too much to read. A compendium of literally everything one would want to know about leading a UX team from hiring, to building a lab, including finding room in a budget, to leadership skills, and evangelizing work internally/externally. It’s peppered with real stories from real managers and leaders through the UX field. Kind of an incredible effort though a slog at many points. I might have hit a record number of highlights here. There’s just so much practical and useful stuff in here.
It was nice. Not the greatest book ever about the theme I think. If you read a lot about leadership and UX teams you will find the same topics here: office politics, motivation, HR stuff and such.
What I really liked about this book is a quote from Jared Pool on what are the abilities a UX professional should have. There's an entire chapter on this topic. It was written as if you were leading a team and you are the one encouraging your team to grow so there are a few relevant tips even if you ar ...more

This book was a labor to complete. I'm not sure if I could recommend completing cover to cover but I do recommend it as a reference manual.

This book does contain valuable information about building UX teams and managing their work. But boy do you have to work for that value! At times it seems Lund is just riffing off the top of his head, so he winds up repeating himself, or writing all over the map before circling around to his point. I found myself wondering whether this book was edited at all.
I got a lot out of this book, but it was really long and not very easy to get through. I wish that the points were more pointed rather than conversational.

“The most important driver of user satisfaction is usefulness, which is largely reflected in the interaction design. The interaction design has to be incorporated at the deepest level of the software architecture and it is often the most expensive to change late in the process.”
