Engineering Discipline and Deep Empathy in Business Leadership

Applying an engineering design process to business means defining clear goals, tracking real-time KPIs, and examining second-derivative trends to predict and course-correct performance before outcomes degrade.

High-performing teams are built by hiring for three distinct qualities: exceptional competence, deep personal dedication to the mission, and a collegial spirit rooted in kindness and humility.

To eliminate hierarchy and groupthink in critical meetings, leaders should solicit and rank attendee takeaways and questions beforehand, and speak last to allow junior members to share unbiased insights.
