Reverse-Engineering Leadership

Organizations in various industries need engineers to step into leadership roles to help optimize project initiatives and outcomes, while also driving innovation. However, research demonstrates that engineers staunchly resist such roles because it conflicts with who they are and what they believe; “it’s just not who I am” is a common refrain. Oddly enough, most, if not all, leadership skills and traits are already ingrained in an engineer’s existing skill set. Learning how to foster and kindle these skills to help promote better leadership qualities, whether it be for personal gain, to better manage team projects, or strengthen higher-level position responsibilities are imperative to an engineer’s personal and career growth.
