Leading Yourself - Engineering and Leadership Podcast

Summary

Whether we realize it or not, we are all leaders. If nothing else, we lead ourselves. We make the big decisions in our lives and careers and follow our own distinct paths.

The question is: are you leading yourself with intension?

For many of us, we lead ourselves haphazardly. We drift through our careers and make decisions based on the opportunities that present themselves, rather than creating the opportunities we really want.  Luckily, you really do have the power to lead yourself, and help others do the same.

In this episode of the Engineering & Leadership podcast, I speak with Dr. Ben Ritter about the importance of leading yourself and how to start if you’ve never tried.
