Like it or not, you’re a leader now. Better step away from your computer and figure out how to deal with people!

There are few leadership books tailored specifically to the needs of technical-minded people who like hard evidence, plain language, and industry-specific guidance.

People like you!

Gwen Acton, PhD, has helped thousands of scientists and engineers to become better leaders, and she can help you too. Leadership for Scientists and Engineers offers a clear, pull-no-punches walk through all the skills you’ll need to manage a team and advance in your role, including:

 * Delegating. Delegating way more than you think you should. Delegating like your life depends on it.

 * Conducting one-on-ones that put you and your reports at ease and ensure no surprises when it comes time for the annual review.

 * Navigating the hiring and onboarding process no matter what size organization you’re working with.

 * Figuring out what to do when someone starts crying in your office.

Science and engineering take a lot of technical know-how, but leadership takes a lot of soft skills—communication, networking, setting and adjusting goals.

You want to be good at this stuff. You don’t want to hate it. Leadership for Scientists and Engineers is here to help.
