In Tech Fox? Business Donkey!, Andrea Suppa, an engineer turned business leader, provides a compelling guide to help engineers and technical experts break free from their narrow roles and embrace a broader, more influential mindset in the business world.
This book is designed for professionals who feel confined to their technical expertise and want to move beyond it, but are unsure how to expand into broader business leadership roles.
