People Skills for Engineers

Most engineers receive adequate technical training as part of their core engineering curriculum but get virtually no help when it comes to their people skills. As a result, many engineers are grossly under prepared to face the interpersonal challenges they inevitably encounter while working alongside other engineers and engineering managers. People Skills for Engineers was created specifically to fill this training gap. WARNING: Failings with people can be the undoing of even the most talented technical team.

People Skills for Engineers can help fill in the gaps in this crucial and often underdeveloped engineering skill set.
