"Leadership, in every context, is important in this day and age. The ability to help and influence others to obtain, not only the business or organization’s goals, but their own professional goals is one of the things that is currently separating high achieving organizations from their peers. This book establishes the need and importance of exploring engineering leadership as a viable path to help better ensure an organization’s success."
