Triumphs & Trials: Leadership Learning in Engineering Careers
How do our proud moments inspire us to lead? What are practical ways to learn from failure and struggle? In this conference, we will explore adversity and achievement in engineering and how these moments shape leadership identity and ability. We have revisited the 5 engineering leadership career paths introduced at the Eighth CoP conference in April 2019, drawing new insights from moments of pride and struggle with implications for engineers and organizations.
Participants at the Tenth Conference on the Leader-Engineer can look forward to a set of interactive virtual sessions with a mixed format, including research talks, networking opportunities, group discussions, and personal reflection. This conference will convene conversations of a diverse group, including: engineers and engineering managers, human resources professionals, faculty and staff from U of T, and engineering students already practicing leadership in school and industry.
