Everything Starts and Stops With Leadership: How to Develop the Inner-Leader Within by Doug Dvorak

8:15 am – Noon

Forget tough. Today, competition is fierce! It takes more to succeed in business than just having a smart competitive strategy, good reputation, and a top-notch product or service. In reality, a company’s human capital holds the key to sustainable, long-term growth. Businesses don’t do business–people do. They create the force that ensures an organization’s successful future. These individuals hold the solutions to problems, the ways to improve productivity, the creativity to enhance products and services, and the insight that the company needs to move forward.

These goals become a reality if dynamic leadership is displayed and every executive and manager treats their employees as well as they treat their most important customers. Smart business owners and managers know that without the full support of their employees, no initiative can succeed, nor can any individual leader achieve their goals.

Mr. Dvorak is a certified sales trainer, management consultant and corporate humorist. Mr. Dvorak holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration and a Master of Business Administration in Marketing Management. However, Mr. Dvorak’s sense of humor is no less refined, as he is a graduate of the Player’s Workshop of the Second City, one of the oldest and most prestigious improvisational comedy schools in the world.

Emerging Professionals Program

Session 1 - The Unwritten Laws of Engineering

This is the first of a four-part series on the book “The Unwritten Laws of Engineering,” by W. J. King that was first published in 1944. This session focuses on “What the Beginner Needs to Learn at Once,” and will address important lessons on how to successfully relate to your work, your supervisor, and how to deal with colleagues and outsiders. Don’t be fooled, these lessons are as contemporary and important for seasoned professionals as they are for beginners

Session 2 - Relating Chiefly to Engineering Managers

This is part two of the four-part series on the book “The Unwritten Laws of Engineering.” Attendees will learn about individual behavior and technique,
managing design and development projects, organizational structures, and what all managers owe their employees. Extremely valuable for managers,
yes, but also for those who are managed and who manage managers.

Session 3 - Personal & Professional Behavior in the Workplace

Part three of the four-part series on the book “The Unwritten Laws of Engineering” will explain why empirical studies of on-the-job excellence
consistently reveal that emotional competencies, or “soft-skills,” are much more important than technical skills alone. This session focuses on
“laws” drawn purely from the practical point of view, like character and personality, behavior in the workplace, and career and personal development.

Session 4 - The Unwritten Laws of Jeopardy

Come and test your knowledge of the “Unwritten Laws” and soft skills in a fast-paced fun game show format! Based upon the game show Jeopardy, volunteer contestants will be presented “answers” and will be challenged to provide the “question.” After each round, there will be facilitated group discussions on the value and application of the unwritten law in engineering practice.
