Leadership skills are something that CAN be learned, but most Design Professionals do not get proper training on how to be an effective leader.
Liz Myers, Executive Leadership Coach at Integrative Leadership Strategies, works specifically with Design Firms to improve leadership within their company. She is uniquely qualified as she is an engineer herself, earning a Bachelors in Engineering from Cornell and a Masters in Structural Engineering from Stanford.
Upon beginning her engineering career, she was disheartened to discover the lack of teamwork and leadership within design firms. Senior designers failed to mentor the younger ones, team members were afraid to speak their mind at meetings, and no one seemed to trust management. Experiencing this negative work environment inspired her to make a career switch from engineer to leadership coach.
I love how Liz breaks learning leadership into simple frameworks for her clients! For example...
3 components of trust within a team:
- Benevolence - having someone’s best interest
- Competence - having skills to get the job done
- Reliability and Consistency - proving to the team that they can count on you
She also addresses a pressing question for many firm owners...
"How can I best lead the Millennial Generation?"
