	Leader Education and Development Transforming Engineering Managers into Effective Leaders & Creating a Dynamic Leadership Culture 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" recognizes 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 contribute to 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. Leadership is different from management and requires different skills. Leading in the private and public arena requires a well-defined personal vision, integrity, and effective communications and motivational skills. 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.

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.
