Words of an Engineer turned
Manager
Each year, thousands of people make
the switch from staff engineer or
scientist to a manager.
And, although many of us look forward
to the change, we find it frustrating once
we get there.
Words of an Engineer turned
Manager
When we were engineers, we were rewarded
for our technical skills and labors in direct
proportion to what we accomplished
But now, as a manager, our success is
measured not by our own output but by the
output and productivity of the people we
supervise.
Words of an Engineer turned
Manager
Fortunately, working with others and
getting them to give you their best can be
much more rewarding as technical
accomplishments, once you get the hang
of it.
Transition from Engineer to
Manager
Research finding- 70% of the engineers had
difficulty in making the transition from the
quantitative analysis of physical problems to the
qualitative uncertainty of managerial problems
(Research done by A Dudman and S H Wearne Centre for Research in
the Management of Projects University of Manchester Institute of
Science & Technology)
Continuously developing leadership
and management skills should be a
high priority for all engineers
Eric's first week on the job as an engineer
was full of leadership and management
challenges-but he didn't realize this at the
time.
He was just getting the work done that he
was told to do. Just ordinary work for an
entry-level engineer.
Continuously developing leadership
and management skills should be a
high priority for all engineers
A breakdown of Eric's tasks that first week,
however, reveals -the aspects of engineering
work that are very much leadership and
management oriented.
His assignment included challenges such as:
Continuously developing leadership
and management skills should be a
high priority for all engineers
Negotiating with Manufacturing for delivery of test units
Planning the flow of test units through the engineering lab
Influencing external resources to serve his needs quickly
Directing technicians regarding test procedures
Estimating time for completing tasks
Resolving conflicts and issues that were impeding progress
Continuously developing leadership
and management skills should be a
high priority for all engineers
As engineers advance in the profession,
leadership and management competencies
become more important, regardless of whether
or not they are on the "management" track.
