Leading Engineers, Not Just Managing Them PDF

Retaining good engineers is critical to the success of you as a manager and to your company. Now is a great time for an employed engineer to look for a new job. Technology is rapidly evolving, which is resulting in many exciting opportunities. International economies appear to be on the rebound from their difficulties. Demand for engineers is high and supply is low, which leads to strong financial incentives to change jobs. Recruiters are in a feeding frenzy, trying to steal the best engineers and place them in another firm for a big payday. In today's environment, an engineer does not need to actively look for a new job. You could lose an essential engineer who simply listens to an idea proposed by a recruiter.
