#BigBeacon Twitter chat – Mar 16 – Engineers & Leadership
Engineers fill many roles, but one role that may not readily come to mind is that of a “leader”. Yet in today’s world of complex environmental challenges, aging and failing infrastructure, and increasing interconnection between the natural and built environments; engineers as leaders is exactly what society, and the profession, needs.
On Wednesday, March 16 at 8:00 pm ET, please join Christian Knutson using the Twitter account @TheEngineerLead, using the hashtag #BigBeacon to chat about the following questions:
- What are the special attributes that leaders exhibit?
- How does one become a leader?
- What does leadership, from the engineer’s perspective, look like?
In this chat we will unpack characteristics, challenges, and ways to cultivate leadership…from an engineer’s perspective.
