Women of STEM: innovation and leadership series
Content:
"Diversity drives better business results; however, despite decades of effort, women make up only 15% of engineers. Retaining Women in Engineering approaches the problem of women leaving engineering from a systems-level perspective to change the way engineering is done and level the playing field between men and women. This book utilizes the six principles of Lean Development and draws from the learnings of the field of medicine. Additionally, the book highlights how the methods of Lean Development strengthen an individual's ability to control their learning and career, and a leader's ability to more effectively coach others"--
