The Art of Engineering Management

Challenged by larger and more complex tasks, the engineering manager must place greater emphasis on the motivation and intellectual development of his people if he is to obtain the maximum creative effort from individual engineers. Management of the environment rather than the individual is suggested as the key to motivation¿and to successful engineering management. Problems facing us in electronics will be easier to solve if managers build an environment characterized by sound organization, stimulating goals, economic rewards and, most important of all, freedom of initiative for the individual with maximum emphasis on self-direction and self-control.
