Abstract

In this paper, we focus on the effects and outcomes of enhancing the careers of engineers and various technical specialists with leadership competences. It is quite clear that engineers and experts possessing technical knowledge who intend to advance their careers must be able to lead teams effectively and to handle human resources in an efficient way according to the principles of modern management science. Therefore, it appears that professionals of all kinds should be interested in investing into advancing their leadership and management roles and in enhancing their “soft” skills. Our results demonstrate that for the technically minded people, there might be some personality areas that are worth investing their time and effort and concentrating on developing them accordingly. Among these features are personality growth as well as such areas as team management, public speaking, or learning the principles of modern management, just to name the most important ones. Our results might be useful not only for human resource managers operating at industrial enterprises but also for management professionals that have to deal with people from the technical background in their everyday jobs.
