Leadership Succession & The Role of Engineering Management: An Empirical Investigation

Leadership succession is accelerating, placing next-generation leaders—particularly engineering managers—at the center of transition efforts. This study analyzes three groups: 324 doctoral candidates in technology, 261 engineering managers with master’s degrees, and 234 CEOs from various industries. Using multivariate techniques such as principal component analysis, cluster analysis, and ANOVA, the research compares 25 personal and professional competencies and diverse behavioral leadership styles. The goal is to identify leadership gaps and offer targeted development strategies aligned with the Engineering Management Body of Knowledge (EMBOK) to strengthen future engineering leadership.

While emotions happen to us, feelings are shaped by how we interpret them.
