Doug Howard, P.E.'s Linkedin Analytics

I help engineering leaders increase their impact by showing them how to influence, motivate, and inspire all types of people in any situation - professionally and personally In 2013, I was promoted to engineering manager of a 5 person team By 2021, I transformed it into a 40 person industry-leading department - here's how... I was originally promoted because I was a top performing engineer, but leadership requires a whole different skill set that most engineers are never taught I was surrounded by bad managers, and saw the negative impact they had on people’s confidence, career, growth, and self-esteem I didn’t want to be that type of leader - but without any positive role models to learn from, I had to figure out it out on my own I read countless books and signed up for a few courses on leadership, but the “one size fits all” style of training didn’t work for my logical brain The general ideas all made sense, but I struggled to find practical ways to apply the strategies and techniques to real life situations….until I realized this disconnect! Traditional leadership training programs tell you WHAT to do in specific situations, and assume you’re naturally outgoing and people-oriented - but this doesn’t work for engineers… We need to understand HOW and WHY something works, before we can absorb, adapt, and apply it in ways that work for us After ditching the traditional methods, I developed my own leadership framework around understanding human behavior and psychology - so that I could: ✅ Influence without having authority ✅ Understand and deal with all types of people ✅ Motivate people’s behavior and decision-making ✅ Adapt your communication style to match your audience ✅ Deliver constructive feedback that inspires positive changes ✅ Handle difficult people and emotional conversations ✅ Gain buy-in and win people to your way of thinking I used this framework to develop an effortless leadership style that was directly aligned with my core values, natural personality, and unique strengths Today, I use this framework to teach engineers how to develop and utilize these skills to your advantage in every area of your life!
