About the Book
Whether you are a scientist, an engineer, or a technologist you were probably attracted to your field because it gives you the opportunity to tackle and solve problems. But where will you learn how to be successful doing the things you love?
For example, do you know:
That developing your leadership skills, even if you want to spend your entire career “in the trenches” can make you more money?
How to create an environment in which your teams can create and thrive?
That the things you write (even emails) are one of the key deliverables of your career, no matter what technical field you’re in?
How to get your ideas heard by telling a story?
This book will teach you all of this, and more, with a specific plan to help you build the career you want to have.
Inside you’ll find a way of thinking about the future that starts with you and your career, right now, whether you’re still in school, just beginning your professional life, or are just ready to start making a difference with the career you already have.
Who should read the book?
This book is for any scientist, engineer, or technologist that wants to learn enough about leadership and career skills to start having the career they want to have, not just the career someone else has in mind for you. And for anyone who wants to hear practical advice from someone who’s actually working (and leading) in a technical field.
For students wanting to get ready for life in the real world
For new employees trying to chart their course
For new managers trying to get a handle on getting things done
For seasoned professionals tired of spinning their wheels
For technical professionals in small businesses, huge corporations, and the public sector
