There are many paths to LEADERSHIP

 

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

Click on each type of leader to see the skills we recommend.

Toggle THE TECHNICAL EXPERT

I am an expert in what I do but I need to learn how to bring my clients and team with me.

Toggle THE UNOFFICIAL LEADER

I have to lead others, but I do not have any 'line' authority.

Toggle THE EXPERIENCED MANAGER

I know what I am doing but i'd like to explore new technologies and work more strategically.

Toggle THE REMOTE MANAGER

My challenge is to effectively manage a team spread across different locations.

Toggle THE ACCIDENTAL MANAGER

I just ended up managing the team, I've had no formal training.

Toggle THE ASPIRING LEADER

I see leadership and management as part of my desired career path.

Toggle THE NEW MANAGER

I'd welcome some support and guidance in my new role.

We understand the challenges that technical people face in transitioning to leadership and management positions
