How to Spark Leadership in your Engineering Career

In this episode, Chris Knutson, PE interviews Angie Morgan from Lead Star on how to spark leadership in your engineering career. Angie touches on the importance of credibility, character and service-based leadership and how you can use these to build a career of success as in engineering.

Engineering Quotes:

Here are the key points on how to spark leadership in your Engineering Career:

  • An engineering leader is someone who influences outcomes and inspires others.
  • The most important leadership relationship you should have is the relationship with yourself.
  • Not having a ready recognition of our values, can often lead us astray as leaders.
  • A spark leader is someone who is seen as a doer, a thinker, a person who gets things done and stands out in an organization.
  • A true leader needs to understand the importance of facilitating a healthy work-life balance in order to build an effective team, and should also:
    • Tap into his or her intuition and perception and use it to look at a situation from somebody else’s perspective.
    • Figure out how to take the principles of leadership and make them their own in his or her unique style.
  • There are fundamental behaviors that you can develop that can help you solve some of the people challenges that you are experiencing as an engineer. Knowing what those behaviors are will help you recognize these challenges earlier on in your career. Try to understand the softer side of the human dynamic and build that capability within yourself.
  • If you pay attention to what successful people in your organization are already doing, you may just find the keys to the habits that you need to be building now that can lead you to more success.
  • The sooner you can start building your relationship, the better you are going to honor your future self.
  • The four keys to credibility are:
    • Understand what is expected of you.
    • Demonstrate consistent behavior.
    • Share expectations and intentions with others.
    • Practice Accountability.
