For the most part， academia grooms engineering students to engineer， and employers groom engineers to be even better engineers。 Collegiate and workplace curriculums rarely include much content to cultivate the fabulous leadership potential that may be dwelling within。 Oh， that’s fine when you are driving the motorcycle they designed。 However， within that community of technologists is an elite subset of people with the precious capacity to lead others to greatness。

In Leadership for Engineers ， Kotecki contends that engineers， by nature and development， often possess precisely the attributes to be exemplary leaders。 In this humor-infused handbook， he shares both foundational as well as unobvious lessons required to streamline a painless migration from accomplished engineer to exceptional leader。 His personal journey from EE to senior executive in a global automation company evolved through a diet of observation， education， trial-and-error and brilliant mentors。

Thankfully， he took good notes。

Leadership for Engineers is specifically written for the technologist and strives to leverage their unique strengths and shrink their knowledge gaps。 It is tailored for the both the emerging leader in the dawn of their administration， as well as the manager already knee-deep in guiding other humans。 The many enclosed topics are organized in four sequential sections designed to…
1） Help STEM professionals make smooth their transition to leadership
2） Outfit them with practical business tools and shortcuts
3） Aid them in awakening the human spirit of others， and
4） Promote their personal enrichment along the way

This book is structured to be a small-plate menu of easily digested managerial advice and anecdotes that will absolutely flatten your learning curve and help you shepherd humans better， faster。 Populated with tedious engineering analogies and a ridiculous number of footnotes， this witty read is as entertaining as it is inspirational。

Don’t forget to enjoy the journey！
