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.
