It does this through mini case studies that illustrate scenarios where simple, clear, or exact solutions are not evident. By offering examples of dilemmas in technical leadership along with selected analyses of possible ways to address or consider such issues, aspiring or current leaders are made aware of the types of problems they may encounter. This situational approach also allows the development of methodologies to address these issues as well as future variations or new issues that may arise.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLeadership by Engineers and Scientists\u003c\/i\u003e guides and facilitates approaches to solving leadership\/people problems encountered by technically trained individuals.
