Imagine the BEST engineering boss you’ve ever had.
It may be someone from years ago,or maybe you’re in good hands right now and we’re talking about your current boss, or maybe you don’t have a boss.
Regardless of who your boss is, I can be sure of what he/ she is like. That’s because all highly respected bosses have a lot of things in common. Here are some of the things they commonly do everyday.
