An Intensive Eight-Month Leadership Course for Engineers

Engineering is a demanding field that requires a broad knowledge base and combinations of skills to successfully practice as a professional. ASCE's "Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge for the 21st Century" and "The Vision for Civil Engineering in 2025" recognize leadership as one of the critical skills for civil engineers to develop - not only to increase the effectiveness of individuals and engineering organizations but also to position civil engineers as the lead on multi-disciplinary project teams, to regain leadership roles in public service agencies, and to lead decisions shaping sound public policy at the local, state, and national level.

Leadership provides many other benefits to engineers and their organizations as well. Developing leadership skills and a leadership culture creates the agility to respond more quickly to changes in the economy, competitors, and customer needs.

This course has been designed to produce behavioral change and provide significant growth in participants' leadership skills, along with all the benefits that will accrue to the workplace, clients, the public, and the profession.

"The LEAD program helped me distinguish leadership from management. I have taken many management short courses but none provided me with the knowledge of how to form a winning team. The program focuses on developing leaders who can motivate their employees to greatness, regardless of the inherent challenges. The LEAD class is an excellent program for any manager who is trying to take their career to the next level."

Karl A. Higgins, III, P.E., Vice President - Asst. Branch Manager, ECS - Mid-Atlantic, LLC, Chantilly, VA

Why an Eight-Month Course?
This program is designed to produce behavioral change - not just mindset change. Studies of educational programs among nearly 100 engineering firms have shown that effective programs for producing change in behavior are those that reinforce behavior change over time - typically from eight to 12 months. This LEAD program includes seven days of training and instruction in a class room environment, plus a personal consultation or coaching session. The full month between sessions allows for practice and reinforcement of skills learned to achieve maximum leadership development.
