Practical Leadership Skills for Safety Professionals and Project Engineers

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book discusses the science of organizational behavior, and the author cites current social and psychological work on leadership and professional development in an effort to "jump start" the careers of project engineers and future safety professionals. The goal in writing this book is to quickly acclimate undergraduates and early-career professionals on a career path toward engineering and safety management because they are missing opportunities to work, read, travel, and prepare for the profession. This book includes leadership and professional development techniques so that graduates can go into the market with the leadership and communication skills needed.
