Leadership for Young Engineers
What do successful business leaders like Henry Ford, Marry Barra (GMC), and Jeff Bezo (Amazon) have in common? An engineering degree.
Engineers have shown that they have the capacity to become great business leaders. According a Spencer Stuart study, 33% of S&P 500 CEOs had undergraduate engineering degrees, while only 11% had an undergradaute degree in business administration. Also, 24 of Fortune 500 companies are lead by women, 30% of which are engineers. Nevertheless, business is not the only area where engineers can become good leaders. Some of the greatest politicians and world leaders such as Jimmy Carter, Abdul Kalam, and Herbert Hoover had backgrounds in engineering.
It is not suprisinig that engineers make great leaders. Engineers train themselves to become analytical and detail oriented, and have strong numeracy. While being cautious at times, they take calculated risks with realisitic outlook. Moreover, their reductionistic approach to problems enables them to be perform accurate root cause analysis.
