He has over 40 years of domestic and international industry experience in the aerospace and automotive fields as an engineering management professional, including Boeing and the Ford Motor Company.   If you love to learn, and you want to succeed as an engineering leader, then you'll love Bob's rigorous organizational framework to operate from.    He delivers guidance using a dual approach of academic insight and decades of hands-on professional experience.   So press play and let's chat… it's amazing how fast you can go when you navigate with the right compass!   ============================   HAPPY ENGINEER COMMUNITY LINKS:   > Full Show Notes, Resources, & More   > Join our Facebook Group!
