| الوصف: | Technical Leadership Skills Development Through Interactive Workshops Exceptional performance in engineering or science positions and careers requires detailed knowledge of the fundamentals in a specific field and related areas, and the ability to apply that knowledge to solve problems. However, these capabilities are necessary but not sufficient conditions for career success. In leadership or management positions technically-trained individuals must interact effectively with other individuals and groups within and outside of the organization to ensure that appropriate directions, goals and performance are achieved. That is, success in such positions requires that leaders solve or address sociotechnical problems, wherein a heightened level of complexity exists due to the intersection and interdependence of technical and people problems or issues. Early career leaders often find these situations to be frustrating and confusing, and may conclude that responses from others are illogical. The ability to deal with such considerations requires non-technical skillsets and a modified mindset relative to the strict technical approaches that the leader (initially) possesses. Although management/business courses address some of the issues described, they are not taught from the standpoint of how a technical mindset approaches problems; this mindset typically results in frustration and discomfort for the new leader. Furthermore, business courses are generally focused on higher level leadership/management positions, e.g., Vice President or CEO. Students and early career engineers need insight and guidance when transitioning into technical leadership roles. Specifically, they need to gain awareness of the types of issues they will face and recognize that even if everyone thought logically about the problems encountered, solutions will still be difficult due to differences in values, priorities, biases, experiences, and personalities.
