This is your opportunity to begin the transition to take on a leadership position in management. There are no mysteries, just a clear understanding of the fundamental principles and learning from each opportunity to lead one opportunity at a time, with each new opportunity imposing new challenges and new learning. --Gerard H.

From Engineer to Manager: Mastering the Transition provides an adaptive perspective in the transition of any edtech professional into a managerial experience. The book provides sequential pathways to identify the key traits and strengths of professionals in the engineering industry; it also aligns theory combined with the foundation of experience to understand how to work with and manage while understanding personalities to perceptions. Careful thought was given to how learning traits can be achieved and the impact to others with career growth in mind. The five principles provide an overview to gain an understanding of the study of individual concerns, applicable steps for team building and leadership traits for success. By identifying the key takeaways with each chapter, the reader has a depth and understanding of the focus but also a bookmark to revisit areas that are important to them. This book is a wonderful guide towards moving forward in a career and expanding both the humanistic side with the technological expertise to create powerful teams and individual leaders. The stories provide impact, familiar, and create an understanding of the issue while supporting best practices. I would recommend this book both as a teaching aid and a manual for success! --Sher Downing, Ph.D. EdTech Strategist
