Final Thoughts
As John.F.Kennedy famously said, “Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other”, becoming a great Engineering leader is a continuous process and it cannot be accomplished over a fixed tenure. Actively seeking opportunities to learn and grow, ability to take risks and being ambitious also play a role in the success of an Engineering Leader. The onus is on the individual to chart out a plan for himself and religiously work on it to make himself better each day.
