The book "Het kon minder, de lessen van Johan Remkes" by Thijs Broer and Peter Kee explores how Remkes became a sought-after problem solver in Dutch politics. It is not a biography but focuses on his approach to problem-solving and what others might learn from it.
The article discusses "The Dictator's Handbook," which presents a political theory where leaders maintain power through coalitions. It explores how this theory might apply to tech companies, noting that while coalition politics may dominate at the top levels, technical competence becomes more critical for success at middle management levels in engineering organizations.
