“David Colcleugh’s Everyone a Leader: A Guide to Leading High-Performance Organizations for Engineers and Scientists illustrates the progression from ‘engineer’ to ‘engineer-leader’ to ‘leader-engineer.’ His suggestions align with what’s required in today’s environment of technological innovation, globalization, and complex socio-economic-cultural dynamics.”Kimberly Woodhouse, Dean, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, Queen’s University“It is, in my opinion, vital to future competitiveness that we educate engineers and scientists with the best blend of theory, practice, and context. Everyone a Leader: A Guide to Leading High-Performance Organizations for Engineers and Scientists brings a practice-based approach with the potential to accelerate the transition of early career engineers and scientists from educated specialists to significant contributors.”Simon Pitts, Director, The Gordon Engineering Leadership Program at Northeastern University
