Self Awareness and the Effective Leader
Part of being an effective leader is learning how to play to your strengths and overcome characteristics that don’t lend to good leadership practices. During the course, you will examine your own strengths and learn ways to use them in a leadership role. Learn to manage stress and solve problems creatively. Throughout the course, you will also build a tool kit of useful techniques that you can begin using right away in your engineering career.This course is designed for engineers who are interested in and have the desire to advance into leadership and management roles. You don’t need any leadership experience to do well in this course. We ask you to reflect on your personal experiences pretty often, so some work experience will help you in that aspect, but we hope that most of what you learn here will be applicable to many areas of your life.

Reviews
Really loved the way David laid out the fundamentals and helped us through a journey to know ourselves a bit deeper.
Probably one of the best Courses I have taken till now. Engineering leadership and management is just what I was looking for to organize fast paced noisy growth in the industry.
Great course. Really good for those who want to be managers/leader, and those who are already leaders. Lots of reading required, but it is OK.
Good course; very interesting. I would like to see the professor grade the course papers or at least review them instead of stric
