Book description
Beginning with the Spring
1988 issue and concluding with the Fall/Winter
2006 issue, Cryptologic Quarterly ran a series of
articles by Mr. Patrick Fero on management. The
articles used a mythical and whimsical medieval
setting to present morals about general and particular
aspects of management. (Some readers think
the articles just may describe situations which have
arisen at NSA.) The articles proved to be very popular,
and many CQ readers asked if we had plans
to reprint them. This volume is a response to that
question, and we hope that the lessons contained
in the original printing of Mr. Fero’s articles will be
as relevant to present and future managers as they
were the first time the articles appeared.
Once upon a time there was a castle.
