1201. Managing Engineers in an Affirmative Action Atmosphere. 1977.
Abstract
The ‘WHAT’ and ‘WHY’ of AFFIRMATIVE ACTION is examined. Management of engineers in an affirmative action atmosphere is shown to be no different, to a good supervisor, than management of engineers has always been. Five points of good management are offered as an aid to becoming that good supervisor. Communications is identified as the key to reducing the emotional element associated with affirmative action.
