Few engineers receive sufficient social skills training. This book was written to help engineers meet the social challenges they will face in their careers.

What does this book cover? 

People Skills for Engineers takes a deep look at the stereotype of the ‘engineer lacking people skills’ and addresses the fact that many do struggle to navigate the social aspects of their careers.

This edition provides clear, applicable guidance you can fall back upon when:

• You struggle to motivate or lead others
• You realise you should handle interactions differently, but do not know what you should have done ‘instead’
• You fail to impress in meetings, interviews or performance reviews
• You experience social problems with co-workers or supervisors
• You feel isolated, or disconnected from others in your workplace
