THE LEADERSHIP PROGRAM FOR ENGINEERS
Transforming Engineers into
Exceptional Business Leaders
The Leadership Program for Engineers takes engineers, already highly trained specialists, and turns them into well-rounded professionals who are equipped with the skills and mindset needed to drive business success.
Throughout the course of the program, participants learn to adopt an ownership mentality. Instead of focusing solely on project execution, they come to understand the needs of the business and how they contribute to its success. They are educated on the foundations of basic business operations as well as the structures and processes that are required to ensure resiliency and growth.
By the end of the program, engineers are positioned to relieve the owner’s burden by taking on more responsibilities—potentially in management roles, or simply by bringing the mentality of a business owner to their work. Either way, these program graduates are more invested in the success of the firm. They rightly understand their role as essential contributors to the flourishing of something larger than themselves and something to be proud of.
Benefits to the CEO/Owner
The CEO/Owners of engineering firms come out of the program with a roadmap for future growth. Regardless of their previous business experience, they exit the program with knowledge of what the business needs most, when it needs it, and how to provide it, allowing them to scale with confidence. Greater buy-in and loyalty from their team contributes to this confidence and creates stickiness with key members of the team.
Foundations of the Leadership Program for Engineers
The topics in the program come from Organizational ReWilding, a comprehensive framework that is based on extensive research—more than 1,500 businesses across three decades—with data to support each rule and recommendation.
The framework begins with the concept that businesses traverse seven Stages of Growth as they grow in number of employees. Each Stage has its own unique characteristics and challenges. Understanding your business’s Stage of Growth allows you to follow the rules for growth—shortcutting the learning curve by following the path of other successful businesses.

Testimonials
“I’m an engineer. I’m really good at engineering things and I’m really good at my craft. But I’m also a business owner and I wasn’t trained in those skills. I didn’t have an education on how to be a good business owner.”
