Course Purpose…Course Purpose…• Leadership is lacking in business
My Objective: create “enlightened engineers”• Leadership principles not taught soon
enough– Your education is “technical”– Broader perspective is needed
• Dynamics of the work place• Organization of work • Composition & character of teams
• Communication is vital to good leadership– Effective communications skills– Writing techniques
Ralph V. Locurcio, P.E.
The Nature of Work…The Nature of Work…
• Underlies the purpose of leader’s task…
• Phases of work development…1. Agrarian – where we started2. Industrial – management developed3. Post-industrial – leadership was added4. Information age – where we are
going???
Ralph V. Locurcio, P.E.
The Nature of Work & The Nature of Work & Workers…Workers…
• Agrarian – pre 1800Manual worker dominant, self-controlled, independent farms were “cottage industries”... farming is now an industrial
activity; workers interdependent; no middle class... rich or poor
• Industrial – 1800s – Industrial RevolutionHighly organized industrial processes; manual workers organized
labor management conflicts began; division of labor, division of profits
rise of the middle class; rise of management science… Frederick Taylor
• Post Industrial – 1900s – Service & SpecializationKnowledge and services dominate; emphasis on leadership &
teaming; quality is key component, worker ownership of productionrise of the knowledge worker; rise of the two-worker family
• Information Age - 2000+s – Knowledge WorkDigital information dominates, the internet & the global village control return to cottage industries... a new “breed” of worker… new forms of leadership and management
Ralph V. Locurcio, P.E.
Industrial Revolution…Industrial Revolution…• Beginning of “organized” work• Frederick Taylor –
– Scientific approach to work– The division of labor– Assembly line tasks
• Following theories relate…– Profit and efficiency dominate– Industrial physiology - man to workplace
Ralph V. Locurcio, P.E.
Post Industrial Work…Post Industrial Work…• Rise of the service industries
– Quality is imperative– Knowledge & training are key
• Rise of specialization– Organizations are more complex– Rise of “knowledge work”
• Leadership & Management– Industrial psychology - aptitude & skill– Human relations – worker to worker
Ralph V. Locurcio, P.E.
Knowledge Work…Knowledge Work…• Product of post-industrial era…– Quality & skill are key components– Rise of the knowledge worker– Worker ownership of production– Rise of the two-worker family
• Especially difficult to control…– Knowledge itself is not a product– Output of knowledge inputs to other work– Results not easily observed– Identity of worker may not be obvious
Ralph V. Locurcio, P.E.
Key Leadership Questions…Key Leadership Questions…
• Will industrial-age leadership work in a post-industrial environment?
• Leadership vs. management?• Where do you find leaders?• Can leaders be trained?• What is the basis of leadership today?
Ralph V. Locurcio, P.E.
Where do we find leaders?Where do we find leaders?• Appointed… does rank or position
count?• Trained… does it work?• Elected… are politicians leaders?• Informal… how do we know them?• Natural talent… is it best?• Developed… is this possible?
Ralph V. Locurcio, P.E.
Characteristics of Leaders…Characteristics of Leaders…
