It would be targeted at experienced software engineers, developers and architects who have been promoted to the role of team leader.

"Fear notThis book will help you become an effective and respected team leader... the view from the trenches will help guide you in making your own decisions in the context of your own organization and its values... With Whitehead as your mentor, you can anticipate and diffuse problems. Soon you will be as effective as a team leader as you were as a developer"  - Shari Lawrence Pfleeger  "This is a book for the real world. Suppose you are the team leader of a software project. You thought you did all the right things at every stage. Yet the project came in three months late and the application crashed continuously when it went live. What could you have done to prevent this? This book gives the answers. Structured round common questions which should occur to every new team leader "How do I earn the respect of my team?", "How do I draw up a project plan?", it discusses the activities which you need to master"  Donald Matthews, Project Team Leader, AIT 

This is a book on how to cope with the dizzy heights of leadership without getting vertigo or offending everyone in sight.
