This Leadership for Engineering and Manufacturing Masterclass is the second of 3 Manufacturing Masterclasses. Focusing on companies that are involved in mainly providing engineering solutions and products. This will cover the basics of leadership for engineering and manufacturing businesses including: Culture, Corporate Culture and Essences of Leadership Integrity, Accountability, Transparency, and Self-Awareness.

This masterclass has been developed by Raam Shanker, Founder and CEO of Equitus Engineering Limited after seeing visible gaps between organisational vision and strategy and the offices and shop floors. This is aimed at fostering better relationship between the decision makers and the doers, minimising uncertainty in communication, ensuring everyone is collaboratively working towards a common objective.

Attendees will take away insights and practical applications of leadership and management best practices.  The session will be interactive with activities that will enable attendees to talk about their own businesses culture and leadership approaches.
