Purpose: Retain and evolve members beyond technical leadership roles as they grow to be strategic engineering leaders and managers.
Target Audience: Directors and VPs of Engineering, and other engineering leaders, and those who aspire to be at those levels.
Vision: We're a vibrant and valuable part of the careers and lives of Bay Area engineering leaders, improving the quality of their performance and enabling them to realize their full career potential.
Mission: The Engineering Leadership SIG exists to create an active, thriving community of self-aware and principal-driven leaders who come together to share and learn from each other, and from thought leaders relevant to their career needs. The ELSIG community and its extended network of friends and colleagues also provide an invaluable resource to members during their career transitions.
Description: The Engineering Leadership SIG (EL SIG) enables engineering leaders to improve their effectiveness by providing a forum for sharing expertise, wisdom and experience in a collaborative and mutually beneficial context. Our areas of focus are: Leadership, Strategy, Tactical Nuts & Bolts and Career Management. A variety of activities which include presentations, panels, round table discussions, workshops, and networking events, are designed to support the professional development and business success of technical leaders throughout their career, as they move from an individual contributor role into a technical leadership/management role and beyond.
Commitment: Our attendees will overwhelmingly rate us 4.5 or higher(on a scale of 0 - 5) to the Ultimate Question "How likely are ou to recommend our EL SIG to friends or colleagues?" Our "Net Promoter Score (NPS) [defined as % Promoters - % detractors} will be 80% or higher.
Sponsor:
The EL SIG is sponsored by: Agilis Solutions, Hewlett-Packard, and SAP Labs LLC.

Topic: Take the Mystery out of People Issues with Analytics - Using Data & Dialogue to Develop People
Speaker: Camille Smith, Founder/President, Work In Progress Coaching
Leaders: Until you know what’s going on with your people, you won’t really know what’s going on with your team or company. Knowing how individuals make decisions, prefer to communicate and deal with change can make the difference between a team that’s awesome and one that’s awe-shucks. In this interactive session, we’ll use case studies (perhaps one from the EL SIG community!) and explore talent metrics that take the mystery out of people issues, focus developmental efforts and inform career path choices. If you’re interested in impacting performance, yours and those you manage, join us.
Speaker Mini-bio: Camille Smith combines her business experience in start-ups and Fortune 500 companies with her exceptional skills as a communicator and leadership consultant to help leaders and their teams be effective in a world of change. Work In Progress Coaching names her company and her philosophy: “Each of us is a ‘work in progress’, figuring out how to contribute, be satisfied and produce results worthy of who we are.” Her coaching produces business-critical results by building authentic relationships based on values, commitment, accountability and trust. She is a founding member of the Global Women's Leadership Network and has served as an executive coach for Warren Bennis’ Global Institute for Leadership Development. She lives with her family in Aptos.
