| Abstract: | This book is a compilation of editorials written by Dr. McIntyre Louthan, Jr., former editor-in-chief of Journal of Failure Analysis and Prevention. Written over a 12-year period as part of an editorial series published in the journal, the topics of these editorials are applicable to failure analysts and all others looking to achieve success in almost any career. Each editorial offers practical advice for the failure analyst on topics including team participation, customer relations, and looking beyond the obvious for answers, just to name a few. The technical information included is limited and can be understood by beginning failure analysts. The editorials focus on learning good communication skills, leadership, and strength in character from a seasoned failure analysis professional, presented through entertaining personal stories. These areas are not regularly covered in the more technical publications, but are extremely important to success in the field and play a major role in determining the quality of our lives. |
