More info: The typical scientist, engineer or technologist brings the following skills to managerial duties:

• Exceptional problem solving skills
• Exceptional self-improvement skills
• Exceptional system modeling skills

The typical manager has to be able to:

• Understand his or her business environment
• Build key relationship networks
• Build successful teams
• Exploit business opportunities and problems (yes, both)

This seminar will help you make this transition successfully. The

participants will receive a training manual. This seminar is offered through Washington Academy of Sciences, of which IEEE Northern Virginia and Washington Sections are affiliates.
