Look, there in the sky! Is it a plane? Is it a new tower or bridge? Or is it … the Engineering Manager?!
While reflecting on the reasons for pursuing a management path in Engineering, it is clear that the drive to ascend to this role did not include an objective of wearing a cape. It is my earnest opinion that it can be said with reasonable confidence that not many people wake up and say to themselves: ‘I am going to go out and try and be a superhero today’. Specifically, not many Engineering Managers.
