This week: a panel discussion about buy-in on engineering ideas


On this week's Quality during Design Podcast, listen-in on a panel discussion about central themes in the books Brilliant! (about an engineer who invented the blue LED) and How to Win Friends and Influence People.

These stories underscore the significance of not just having brilliant ideas but also being able to communicate them effectively to garner support and drive projects forward.

That sounds like something we all need from time to time.

Here's what one attendee said:

"I didn't realize, until you pointed it out, the need for dramatization in presentations or the need to recognize the politics of publication. I never before went for politics or personal relationships. It was always the technology. And what you've talked about tonight points me in a slightly different direction: [the] need to recognize the politics and the personality, the drama that goes with presentations or publication. I never before recognized the need for recognizing the personal relationships." - R
