Engineering leaders are encouraged to leverage charismatic leadership to foster collective unity and a shared sense of purpose in their teams, but modern remote and hybrid work arrangements introduce obstacles to deploying such an emotion-laden and value-based leadership style. To fill the gap in charismatic leadership guidance for engineering leaders of remote and hybrid teams, we specifically conduct research on charisma over enterprise communication platforms (e.g., Slack, Microsoft Teams). This webinar described nine charismatic leadership tactics managers can use on enterprise communication platforms, the team and innovation outcomes linked to charisma, and the boundary conditions that may limit its effectiveness.

Trust is the cornerstone of effective leadership — yet it is often overlooked in professional development. In this session, engineering leader and author Pete Devenyi drew on decades of experience to share clear, practical wisdom for building trust and unlocking career potential. Highlighting real-world engineering scenarios and hard-earned lessons from his career, Pete explored how trust shapes leadership effectiveness, team performance, and long-term success.

The session featured case studies to illustrate key principles in action, and Pete shared how he approaches complex situations — both successes and missteps — and the lessons learned along the way, offering an authentic and relatable lens on leadership growth.

Part one of a two part series, this session introduced resilience not as a fixed trait but as a trainable capacity grounded in character strengths and adaptive psychological skills. Drawing on evidence from resilience science, positive psychology, and leadership development, the webinar explored how leaders can cultivate antifragility, respond effectively under uncertainty, and build resilience within their teams—particularly in technical and engineering environments.

Part two of a two part series, this session explored Emotional Intelligence (EI) as a core leadership competency, particularly within technical and engineering contexts where communication, clarity, and collaboration are essential. Participants learned why EI strongly predicts team performance, trust, and decision quality and how to strengthen EI skills to lead with composure, empathy, and adaptability.
