Wondering how you change direction mid-career? Jeff Perry is a leadership and career expert and gives advice for engineers looking at mid-career change.
We all have barriers or roadblocks to change. And we know if we could just get over them and turn our weaknesses into strengths, we would unlock all sorts of progress and opportunities.Let’s take Ian as an example. Ian was a senior engineering leader with about 25 years of experience, trying to build teams, build the business, and build his career while engaging with his family .
Don’t get me wrong, he typically did a great job with the tasks he took on. He worked extremely hard and did great work. But crazy busy weeks of 60-80 hours per week piled up over time and he burned out.-He participated in training available to him through his workplace. For example, Ian and I connected through an online ASME event that I was facilitating. That led to more discussions and an opportunity to work together more in-depth. He also connected with multiple other connections through ASME events that brought new perspectives and opportunities, and support to develop new skills he needed to work on to pivot to a new role.
As he changed his mindset to being more trusting of his coworkers and oriented towards building the team, he started experimenting with delegating more and letting go of the emotional need to do everything himself. And as he changed, he received great results, and has continued to grow his career.
