Engineers as Leaders: Beyond Logic! - Paperback

by Jesse L. Calloway (Author)

Do engineers have what it takes to move up the economic food chain-to lead? If not, why not? If gaps exist, how can they be closed? What is the difference between an engineer leading engineers versus leading non-engineers? How, if at all, does engineering education influence perceived leadership style? How exactly does one characterize leadership style, and how is it measured? In a book designed and written specifically for engineers and predicated largely on his leadership-oriented doctoral dissertation in pursuit of the PhD in engineering management, Dr. Calloway addresses each of these questions and more!
