This text is for engineers looking for help in making a smooth transition to the management team. The author's 20-plus-year perspective indicates that, while most engineers will spend the majority of their careers as managers, most are dissatisfied with the transition. Much of this frustration is the result of lack of preparation and training. This book aims to provide a solid grounding in the critical attitudes and principles needed for success. In this guide, new managers are taught to take on board the attitudes and master the associated skills to excel in, and be satisfied with, the transition to management. The book explains how to communicate more effectively and improve relationships with colleagues. Professionals learn how to use their newly acquired skills to solve immediate problems. Moreover, they are shown how to apply six fundamental principles to their on-going work with engineering teams and management.
