Reaching the final part of the Summary Statement document, this week we will present the first three indicators of attainment for the sixth element of competency of the third table that is dedicated to the professional and personal attributes of the applicant. The title of this element is “Effective team membership and team leadership”.
As it is obvious from the title itself, this part of the SS concerns the applicant’s ability to work within the context of a team of professionals, guide and lead other engineers to success, win the trust of colleagues and subordinates through the demonstration of accountability and professionalism, and showcase the capacity to understand how collaborations in demanding environments are set to work.

b.) Functions as an effective member or leader of diverse engineering teams, including those with multi-level, multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural dimensions.
Example: Being the head of the automated systems development department, I organized and attended meetings with the leader of the electrical and electronics design department, and the head of the manufacturing.
