What Others Are Saying About Right-Brain Project Management

From the back cover of the book:

"This is both a revelatory and a revolutionary book. It is destined to become for project management what Vicktor Frankel's book, Man's Search for Meaning, has become for modern psychology and self-fulfillment, Margaret Wheatley's book, Leadership and the New Science, has meant for leading today's organizations, and Stephen Covey's book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, has meant for personal and spiritual development."

-Doug DeCarlo, author of eXtreme Project Management:
Using Leadership, Principles and Tools to Deliver Value in
the Face of Volatility

What Others Are Saying About From Engineer to Manager

"I found Dr. Aucoin's book 'From Engineer to Manager: Mastering the Transition' to be incredibly insightful based on my 16+ years of experience, and plan to add this book to my personal library for future reference. I have been fortunate to have worked in multiple disciplines in the commercial nuclear power industry and can easily relate to Dr. Aucoin's topics and perspectives. The wealth of information in this book 'hits the nail on the head' time and time again. Not only does Dr. Aucoin cover the technical bases extremely well, he also provides an in-depth perspective in understanding the complex aspects of managing human beings, beginning with being good managers of ourselves. This balanced approach will serve the aspiring engineering manager well in his or her career. Unlike many technical reads, 'From Engineer to Manager' was an entertaining and truly enjoyable read."
