Engineering and Leadership Podcast

The Engineering and Leadership Podcast is all about leadership, management, business and productivity in an engineering context. It’s like an audio business school for engineers. The goal is to help you learn about the softer side of engineering and to build your business accumen, but more importantly, to help you go out and apply what you learn. My mission with the show is to help you become a stronger engineer, a stronger leader, go from good to great, and get things done. If you’re an engineer who wants to step things up in your career, make a move into leadership role, or want to improve your business and management skills, this is absolutely the place for you.

Listen in to hear Joseph's answers to these questions (and more): - Can you tell us a bit about your background in engineering and leadership? - What prompted you to make the move to coaching? - What is coaching? How does it differ from consulting or therapy? - Can you tell me a story about a time when you left space for your team  to make its own decisions rather than step in for them? - You’ve written that Values drive behaviour, behaviours drive results. Can you expand on that? - What concrete things can leaders do to elicit their own values? How do we avoid the trap of things we “should” or “shouldn’t” value?
