Can you draw block diagram to show most required at

top level then follow by the less wanted ?

Your case study will be based on these terms !!!

Not About Technology

27

The best technology does not always win

Sony

Betamax/VHS
Windows/Mac
Linux/Windows?
What

do we mean by this ?????

Management success
28

In modern society, we are specialists

We

have expertise in a very narrow area

We

rely on others for everything else

Relationships

enable success

Your ability to deal with people determines your

success as a manager
Put people first, technology second

Themes
29

Engineers are valued for their technical

abilities
Relationships rule business
People issues dominate relationships
To make the transition to management,
acquire good people (Interpersonal) skills
( related topic is engineering in society )

- Ex. Do u communicate with worker in the same level

of technical language as with engineer????

Emotional & Intelligence

30

Emotion and intelligence are connected,

not opposites
Emotions affect thinking, reasoning,
judgment, actions, in the positive or
negative ??
Emotional IQ may be more important
than traditional IQ in success
Engineers usually have low emotional IQ

Why People Seem Difficult

31

Technical systems, although complex,

obey logical rules and/or laws

Individual people are more complex
and follow no set rules
A system of multiple people is
incredibly complex and unpredictable
describe briefly??

Personality Types
32

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

Extrovert/Introvert

(external/internal)
Sensing/intuitive (concrete/abstract)
Thinking/Feeling (what we trust)
Judging/Perceiving
(planned/spontaneous)
describe briefly??

Uses of Personality Type

33

Person-job match
Identify areas for development
Anticipating and resolving conflict
Promoting diversity

Dangers of Personality Typing

34

Limitation
Results of tests may differ depending
on when they are taken
Putting people into one of 16 neat
categories seems overly simple
Types can become stereotypes

Behavioral Tendencies
35

People tend to do what is best for

themselves
People want to avoid looking bad
People tend to go with the crowd
People make communication
challenging
People are imperfect, Is it the case ???

Themes
36

People are complex and hard to predict

Systems of people are difficult to

manage
Knowing about personality types and
behavioral tendencies (raising your
Emotional IQ) can help you be a better
manager
Most engineers have a long way to go
