recent “Tomorrow’s Environment” columns, I’ve talked about

follower to recommitting their technical skills to engineer-driven
consulting services. I touched on some of the engineering initiatives
that are ideally suited for engineer-led teams. The heart of being a
leader of projects begins with three essential attributes: Positive
attitude, creativity, and a high energy level, followed by a need to
lead.
