Engineering Management is a guide for the first-level engineering manager/supervisor/leader and the "manager without authority" -- the project engineer/task leader/lead engineer. The book is practical and straightforward and is designed to help engineers deal with the realities of too little time, not enough resources, and little power. Written in simple language, it offers a practical approach for technical people with managerial or supervisory responsibilities but little formal management training.
