As an engineering executive, it's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day operations of the company. But ask yourself this: Are you focusing on the right things? If you're not actively working to improve the company's engineering best practices, then you're not doing your job. Here are some ways you can improve your focus: - Prioritize time for team growth - Set clear objectives and goals - Encourage and listen to feedback - Invest in technology and innovation - Hire top-tier talent and be a mentor Don't get bogged down in the small details. Focus on what truly matters and watch your company's engineering team thrive.

Should an Engineering Manager be hands-on? I have come across many opinions on this topic. I recently hired an Engineering Manager who was required to be hands-on while managing a team of 10 ICs. To me, this is not feasible. IC engineers would likely suffer in this setup because they would not be given the focus they need to help them with their career development. The common theme I encounter is that engineering managers require a technical background, without a doubt. However, most engineering managers should NOT be hands-on as this can divert attention away from the primary goal of a manager: increasing the team's focus to produce better work. As a manager, you can measure your success by how well your team can operate when you are not there. 

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in manufacturing is that solving technical problems is only half the battle, managing people is just as critical. During a capacity increase project at Tesla, I led the installation of new equipment. Everything was on track....until it wasn’t. The controls engineers responsible for integrating the system hit a major roadblock: One was focused on conveyance controls. The other was working on the machine we were installing. Neither could agree on how to align their work, and progress came to a halt. As the PM, I knew this wasn’t a problem that could be fixed with technical knowhow. It required something else: people skills. Here’s What I Did: 🔍 Identified the Root Cause: I sat down with each engineer separately to understand their frustrations and concerns. 🤝 Facilitated Honest Communication: In a collaborative meeting, I encouraged both engineers to share their perspectives and find common ground. 🎯 Aligned Everyone on the Goal: I refocused the team on the bigger picture: increasing capacity and meeting the project deadline. The Outcome? The engineers not only resolved their differences but collaborated effectively to complete the controls integration ahead of schedule. The equipment was installed, tested, and operational, delivering the capacity increase we needed. What I Learned: 1️⃣ People > Processes: Technical skills alone can’t move a project forward when people are stuck. 2️⃣ Communication is Key: Creating space for open dialogue can unlock solutions faster than any manual. 3️⃣ Leadership is Listening: Sometimes the most valuable thing you can do is step back, listen, and guide the team toward resolution. This project reinforced that managing a successful install isn’t just about the machines—it’s about the people behind them. 📢 What’s a time when you had to step in as a mediator to keep a project on track? Let’s share our experiences and lessons learned! #Leadership #Manufacturing #ProblemSolving #Teamwork #ProjectManagement

Working in a Greenfield Tier 1 Automotive Plant: Beyond the Job Description last week i had the chance to make a deep dive with the Assembly Team at our new plant in Budapest. some see an empty office, I see huge opportunity to grow! Not often a greenfield Tier 1 automotive plant gets built and here is the most important hack for the early employees: your role becomes much more than what’s written in the job description. It's an all-hands-on-deck environment where collaboration and adaptability are the keys to success. Be useful! One day, you might be fine-tuning a production process; the next, you’re coordinating with contractors, move some wooden boxes aroung or helping to troubleshoot IT systems. You quickly learn that flexibility isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. Collaboration is Everything! Building a plant from scratch requires teamwork on a whole new level. Engineers, suppliers, operators, and logistics teams come together to solve problems, make decisions, and hit deadlines. You discover how to align diverse perspectives towards a common goal. Have you ever stepped beyond your role to help your team succeed? Share your story below! #GreenfieldProjects #Collaboration #Adaptability #AutomotiveEngineering #BeyondTheJob
