The Engineering and Leadership Podcast is all about leadership, management, business and productivity in an engineering context. It’s like an audio business school for engineers. The goal is to help you learn about the softer side of engineering and to build your business accumen, but more importantly, to help you go out and apply what you learn. My mission with the show is to help you become a stronger engineer, a stronger leader, go from good to great, and get things done. If you’re an engineer who wants to step things up in your career, make a move into leadership role, or want to improve your business and management skills, this is absolutely the place for you.
