Good leadership drives success

In today's competitive marketplace, good leadership plays a vital role in maximising the success and profitability of engineering businesses.

Why good leadership is important

Leadership is a process of social influence which maximises efforts of others towards the achievements of a goal.
Kevin Kruse

For engineers
Leaders have the confidence and knowledge to take charge, project lead and problem solve. They set themselves apart as an engineer whilst adding high value to the businesses and the workplace.
For organisations
Strong leadership and a motivated team can lead to high employee retention, improved operations, the identification of savings opportunities, new product development and in turn greater profit.

Why invest in leadership training

Modern motivation isn’t about Maslow and money, engineers thrive on having problems to solve, complexity to unravel and unique perspectives to grasp. The best leaders understand this and empower their talent to work autonomously within their specialist areas in order to help the organisation achieve its goals.

Leaders can be born and made
Most people are born with a degree of leadership capability. With the right direction and the commitment to invest time and effort into developing the relevant skillset, those people can become good leaders – and even great leaders.
New pressures on businesses
Changes in workforce behaviour, changes caused by the fourth industrial revolution and the shortage of engineers push businesses to adapt or suffer difficulties in attracting and retaining the best candidates.

There are many paths to leadership

Through understanding the many different paths to leadership, we help engineers by designing and delivering carefully thought out training solutions that will meet their needs at any stage of their leadership journey.

Over many years working with engineering organisations worldwide, we have identified seven common types of leadership paths that engineers take.

The first choice for leadership training for engineers

We understand the key differences between leadership and management; the roles, the impact and the benefits. Moreover, we recognise the challenges that engineers and technical people face in harmonising the demands of time, cost and quality, with the softer side of motivating a team. The key here is leadership, and we can help to build this knowledge.
