Name: Values-Based Engineering Leadership
Availability: InStock

Course Overview

It's not uncommon for people to act differently when at home, at work, or with different types of people; while common, this is not advisable. Everyone has a set of personal core values, but not everyone is aware of them, and often people don't spend much time thinking about their values. In contrast, the best leaders learn not only how to tune into their own values, but also how to communicate and live those values in all aspects of life.

In this course, you will work to lead with integrity while inspiring and empowering those around you. Professor Dawson will help you to discover and align your core values. She will guide you to apply your values to your leadership and to create an action plan for the future. Those who master values-based leadership will be able to rise more effectively through the engineering ranks, ultimately allowing them to emerge at the top without losing sight of what values are most important.

Engineering Leadership

“Managing engineers is tough, but leading them is even tougher. As an electrical engineer with management aspirations, I wanted to become a true leader who could build and maintain strong relationships with my department. A year after completing this engineering program, I was promoted to Engineering Manager and was able to hit the ground running.”
