Nowhere is this truer than in organizations that rely on technical professionals: engineers, scientists, IT professionals, and others with training in technical and scientific disciplines.

At Georgia Tech, with an international reputation in technical fields, we have a long history and breadth of experience in understanding and training technical professionals and their managers. In this workshop, professors will help participants examine their own leadership approaches and develop the understanding, perspectives, and competencies that will equip them for the challenge of leading technical professionals.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ELearning Objectives\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E    * Understanding technical professionals\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n    * Key challenges in leading technical professionals\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n    * The difference between managing and leading\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n    * Leadership self-assessment\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n    * Proven leadership techniques and frameworks\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n    * Leading technical teams - design, process, and decision making \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ECourse Fee\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe course fee includes workshop tuition, instructional materials, case studies, lunch, refreshments, parking, and Internet access.
