About the Author

Frank Robben, is the perfect example of a manager that didn't really make it to the top as a manager and therefor decided to write a book about management. In his mediocre career as software developer, scrummaster, team lead, grouplead, project lead, consultant and program management officer he observed his managers and peers. This lead to interesting insights, thoughts and lessons which he tried to capture in this book.
Frank wrote some plays, poetry and novels, mainly in Dutch. He translated the young adult novel ‘Talisker. (The Uisge Beatha gang on the planet Alba)’ to English. More will follow.
Frank lives in Belgium with his three (almost adult) children. When he’s not writing, you may find him in the theatre as actor or director. Or behind his desk designing T-shirts and stuff for his webshops. In his creative work he intends to move people, make them laugh, or cry and think. Above all he wants to take his audience away from their everyday life for a moment, to let them return strengthened.
