“Engineers get hired for their engineering skills, they get fired for their lack of interpersonal skills, and they get promoted for their business and leadership skills.”

“Great engineers do not always make good leaders, and great leaders do not always make good engineers.”

“It is not their fault that they have not been trained, guided, or mentored to lead.”

“When engineers adeptly master the art of asking questions, they open doors to a wealth of valuable information.”

“Constructive feedback is specific, providing clear examples and instances where improvement is needed. It offers actionable steps.”

“Successful teams are united in purpose, with members working cooperatively and sharing resources to achieve common goals.”

“Engineers that move into a leadership position sometimes stay ingrained in the technical aspects and lead technically. Jumping into what they do best instead of delegating to their team.”

“As the world runs in months, weeks and days, technology runs in hours, minutes and milliseconds.”

“Elevate your engineers through training of their soft skills. Learn not only the technical aspects of engineering but the soft skills to lead. Build leaders through mentorships and experiences. Transform your engineering team into a team of leaders. Grow your technology organization through empowering your engineers to lead.”

“Each time I start mentoring someone, I start by giving them a leadership book.”
