3 Tips for Becoming an Energizing Engineer

September 30, 2009

Posted by Don Dunnington at September 30, 2009 09:30 AM

It's not just the Energizer Bunny that keeps things going with its never-quit energy. Harvard's business professor and chronicler of leadership and innovation, Rosabeth Moss Kanter, has written "Three Tips for Becoming an Energizer" for the Harvard Business Blog.

This short article on leadership and personal effectiveness is aimed at organization leaders, but the benefits of positive energy apply equally to anyone who has any role on any group or team. That just about covers all of us, and I think it applies particularly well to those on engineering teams. Kanter writes:

Good post. Energizers should survive with politics and managements and also facilitated by trustworthy followers.

IMMEDIATE DELIVERY OF RESULTS- perhaps a hard reality in business world,

ASSURED DELIVERY OF END RESULTS- a more tolerated term in research.

It is the battle between AGGRESSION and ARISTOCRACY.

I agree with you.

Get a big promotion, a huge office, and know everything about the company.
