Seven Letters to a Young Engineer is a rare and timeless guide for the next generation of builders, thinkers, and doers.
In this deeply insightful and personal book, Mohamed Hamed Ahmed Soliman - Lean expert, engineer, and author of The Problem-Solving Kata - distills decades of engineering wisdom into seven powerful letters. Each one delivers a hard-earned truth, a mindset shift, and a call to action for young professionals entering the world of systems, factories, and innovation.
Through vivid analogies and sharp lessons rooted in Lean thinking, Soliman challenges readers to go beyond tools and techniques. He urges them to listen to the machines, seek the truth at the Gemba, reject vanity metrics, and embrace failure as feedback. This is not just a manual for efficiency - it's a manifesto for humility, learning, and purposeful work.
Whether you're a student, a recent graduate, or an experienced engineer mentoring others, these letters will stay with you - reminding you that greatness in engineering doesn't come from what you know, but how you think.
This book will teach you:
- Why flow matters more than flash
- How KPIs can lie - and what to measure instead
- Why real improvement begins where the work happens
- How to make failure your most honest teacher
Clear. Concise. Impactful. Seven Letters to a Young Engineer is a gift to anyone who believes engineering is not just about solving problems - but about solving the right ones, the right way.
