IEEE-USA is now offering its new Audio Book,
Developing Your People - Commonsense
Leadership in the Workplace - Vol. 3: Career Asset
Management, Teamwork and Empowerment free
to members.
In the third and final volume of author Harry T.
Roman's trilogy covering common-sense leadership
in the workplace, the author explores how managers
and leaders can put the right people in the right
places within an organization, achieve a teambased approach to problem solving, and empower
employees to meet the future challenges of
their jobs.
In addition, Roman discusses how managers can
put together successful teams-by balancing team
members' professional development. He advises
letting them take time for formal professional
courses and activities, both in the skills they will
need on the team, and in the areas that keep them
current in the field they came from.
Exploring employee teams, Roman warns that
managers "sometimes tend to average down highachievers, restraining their immense energy and
tremendous momentum." He notes that highperformers' can-do spirits often re-energize evolving
companies. Roman recommends putting these "race
horses" in charge of the teams, and letting them set
a fast pace.
"Professionals want to be involved in a learning
environment, Roman says. "They expect mentoring,
with the opportunity to grow in new directions."

IEEE-USA's New eBook Encourages All
Technical Professionals To Enhance Their
Careers by Publishing Their Work(s)
"Publish or perish" is a familiar saying among
academics. More often than not, their advancement
depends on publishing new research in their fields.
In IEEE-USA's new eBook, Publish Your Work,
author Harry T. Roman encourages all technical
professionals to publish their work(s), for greater
recognition along their career paths.
Veteran engineer and educator Harry T. Roman
believes that technical professionals who are not
college or university professors also can enhance
their careers when they publish their work(s).
What's more, he says it doesn't matter whether
it's a technical paper, or an article in an industry
publication: Both get noticed.
Drawing on his own, personal experiences, the
author offers valuable insights into publishing both
formal papers and industry articles. This book is a
helpful resource for almost any engineer, especially
those beginning their careers, or those with just a
few years of professional experience.
"My original corporate mentors-all eventual IEEE
Fellows-liked to remind us young engineers that if
you worked hard to develop something, you should
sign your name to it, and present it," Roman says.
"Be proud of your work!"

It's $1.99 for members. Non-members pay $3.99.
