+ a meta-point: Learn these through experience, not in a classroom. Having managed engineers in industry and also gone through a masters program in engineering management, 90% of what makes me a decent manager/leader/coach today can be attributed to the former.
- douche 9y agoThe dirty secret is that 90% of all formal education is a waste of time, and is just signalling hoop-jumping.
- mcginleyr1 9y agoI thought it was helpful when I was doing it the first time. I saw things it made the human capital and self assessment courses much more useful to everyone when I could ask meaningful questions. So really I see leadership masters being helpful when you're first attempting to manage not later or before.
