Do we need engineers or leaders?

Abstract

Businesses and society demand

people with "something more"

than academic training. But

when we look at the reality of

our businesses and universities

we realize that only few

efforts are put into getting

people to acquire or improve

those aspects of their

personality related to

leadership.

• The article highlights the

importance of promoting a

change in the way of

preparing people in the

engineering schools and in

businesses.
