The first is more attuned towards new product development (as opposed to optimising existing systems, and a lot of sysadmin/development work *is* building entirely new products). The second is a good management guide on fixing systems and helping people do their best. http://www.amazon.com/dp/0961825170 is a useful fun read as well.
