Engineers often talk about the difference between what we call Soft Skills and Hard Skills.

From my perspective, understanding that both are skills, their use is entirely different.

A company hires us because of our hard skills, but in most cases, it is our level in soft skills what makes it possible. That makes the difference in the perception that we transmit about our work.

The concept of soft skills is so wide and vague that I prefer to talk about booster skills instead.

There are great books about increasing your productivity. The concept of growing productivity makes me think of procedures to produce more, not to produce better.

As engineers, we shouldn't focus on producing more units but on delivering better, more robust, and maintainable outputs.

For this reason, I like to talk about enhancement instead of productivity. We can't put more time in our days, at least we shouldn't, but we can improve the way we do the things we do.

This book is the result of more than twenty years of work in development.
