Management tends to be about persuading people to do things they do not want to
do, while leadership is about inspiring people to do things they never thought they could do.

Be a leader.

Raj,

Rasna is right, any book on FE Method will have this. Please see the FAQ Books on Finite Element Method (faq727-384) for links.
