S2E03 Engineering Empathy, Identifying Needs, & Developing Strong Work Ethic | Blayne Roeder

Send us Fan MailLike many great engineers, Blayne Roeder (pronounced like “raider”) grew up on a farm with a strong work ethic and in a culture that valued the ability to maintain (and sometimes build) your own equipment. Those skills helped Blayne quickly advance through a senior level engineering role and into multiple engineering director roles. Having provided guidance to hundreds of junior level engineers throughout his career, Blayne shares with us not only the skills that make great engineers, but skills that make great people. blayne_roeder@yahoo.comThe Being An Engineer podcast is brought to you by Pipeline Design & Engineering.
