The Manager's Guide

The Manager’s Guide contains blog posts on Leadership and Systems Engineering. The Leadership posts provide a self-study course in leadership for managers and for workers who wish to prepare themselves for management. The articles address motivating people and improving processes. People and processes are common to every type of organization so the course applies to any organization. The older posts cover Systems Engineering and can be found in the archive or by searching on key words.
