Course Summary
Electrical engineering is a complex career path and one that takes a highly competent individual to carry out successfully. The same applies to engineering organisations, yet their efficiency does not end with skilled workers. An organisation requires strong leaders to manage employees to ensure all tasks are being completed correctly and within a reasonable timescale.
Effective management is crucial for effective employees. There are a vast number of skills and techniques that are necessary to conduct the job correctly. A leader needs to be level-headed, have a thorough understanding of the dynamics of their teams, and be capable of setting goals and motivating those for its completion.
Not only does a leader need to support their employees, they also have to guarantee projects or tasks are following business values and industry standards. They need to maintain the balance between working efficiency, organisational needs, and the needs of employees. Alongside these responsibilities, leaders will need to provide coaching for poor performers, provide incentives for outstanding work and intervene when possible conflict arises.
