You're Dilbert's new boss — overview of Engineering Management issues

Many of us have been laughing at Dilbert cartoon sketches for years. Thanks to the creative genius of Scott Adams, many sketches have us laughing on the floor. Our bosses get lampooned as ignorant, irresponsible and just plain crude. But wait a minute! Every one of us is managing. We manage people, projects and money, or we manage all three. Is there just a tiny bit of Dilbert inside each of us? Where does your IEEE Engineering Management Society fit into this scenario? How can EMS publications, meetings and workshops actually help you? Do you really want help? Popular authors, like Richard N Bolles have been writing about job issues for years. Bolles gives ideas for job change in What Color Is Your Parachute? John Crystal and Bolles co-authored Where Do I Go From Here with the Rest of My Life?, the result of an IEEE contract to actually help engineers and others. Popular speakers, like Barry Flicker have conducted EMS hands-on workshops to help people define engineering management issues and develop a plan to deal with those issues. Join us for some fun looking at recent Dilbert issues and results.
