"Engineers already have the background needed for corporate leadership, since all businesses today are either tech focused or tech dependent in some way. But you probably lack the business skills needed for a move into management. You can do the engineering, but you face roadblocks. You get to technical manager, but no further." Priscilla Richardson, Progressive Engineer Career and Business
Ms. Richardson's comments also apply to accountants, attorneys, customer service professionals, manufacturing personnel and many other disciplines.
