(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 01/22/13 -- , a leader in providing a Web-based application that integrates technical information with analytical and search tools, today announced its newest subject area, Engineering Management & Leadership. The offering addresses the needs of both new and experienced engineering leaders, as well as managers of teams of engineers, scientists and other technical staff.
The new subject area focuses on the people-centric skills required of emerging leaders, providing important guidance on the "soft skills" necessary to win internal support for projects, make staffing and hiring decisions, negotiate contracts and more. The content is relevant to all engineers leading initiatives that require employees to have skills for communication, team building, business planning and staff development.

"However, these are not skills engineers are often taught in school. We've teamed up with a dozen publishers, including a new partner, ASQ Quality Press, to help round out the leadership skills for engineering managers."
