Eva Doyle’s leadership book:
The Reluctant Leader: From Technical Expert to Human Expert
You’re a technical expert, with a high degree of technical competency. Yet you have been promoted into a leadership position – or are thinking about becoming a manager.
Either way, it’s a big step. You need the insights and guidance to change your thinking, adjust your communication style, and learn new interpersonal skills. You need to develop leadership skills.
After a rocky start in her early leadership roles, Eva Doyle, MBA, successfully made the transformation into an exceptional leader. This book draws on her 20+ years of management experience, leading teams small and large – much of it leading departments that specialized in technical skills. With a background that spans banking, an agency of the Department of Defense and a software company, Eva believes anyone can cultivate leadership skills.

- Decide if you truly want to step into a leadership position
- Navigate your internal transition from expert to leader
- Learn to become comfortable with your authority

In short, you learn how to become a leader who has more control, more influence, more contribution.
