Change fails when engineering leaders didn’t have credible plans on how or when they’ll deliver. Engineers work hard on the change, but it stalls. When I ask the Leadership, whether their projects are track, the answers are: I think so, I hope so, I don't know. This is a problem. (hello@folajimi.com).

Are experienced and seasoned leaders inherently better leaders? Obviously, there are things that you learn from having 10 to 20 years experience of managing people, but I have met 100s of seasoned technical managers, who had terrible leadership practices and even worse results. Basically, through their careers, they had learned to manage badly very well.
This podcast is a short continuation on the challenges of selecting the wrong solution, but specifically when technical leaders try to replicate solutions that were implemented in another organization.
Leadership Focus is critical in ensuring business change initiatives are successful. Even your most senior engineers may have no experience carrying out wooly transformation projects which do not require core engineering skills. They require a lot of your help monthly, weekly and even daily.
Engineering Change programs often fail when Leaders select the wrong solution. If you have any questions, email me at hello@folajimi.com.

Why do some engineering leaders find it so hard to make decisions? This episode focuses on why 10,000 decisions not made every day that erodes profits, staff engagement, and customer satisfaction.
Decisions are one of the key things a leader has to do. Whether you are a project engineer or the Chief Operating Officer of a multinational engineering company, you need to make decisions.
Warning: This is a satirical video! One of the biggest traps a leader can fall into is the need to respond to requests from others to make a decision. I will give you six reasons why you should never make a decision as a leader--Ever.

All engineering leaders get angry at work sometimes. We are frustrated, irritated or upset by the behaviors of others and ourselves. That feeling is normal and part of being human--it's okay. What is not acceptable is insulting the engineers, managers, customers and other people we work with.
Today, I am going to be talking about help, specifically, why engineers or scientists may not ask their managers or team leaders for help as often as they should.

What kind of engineering manager are you? Are you a Dragon or a Door Mouse? Dragons are aggressive leaders, get what they want and never let anyone push them around, but they might leave bodies and destruction in their wake. Door Mice are the engineering leaders who "like to be liked" above all.
This series I recorded in response to a question l left in the comments from the video "Failure is an Option". I wanted to explore some main roadblocks I see when leading improvement or transformation programs and hopefully help you out a bit.
