Abstract

Systems engineering leaders' career development journeys are primarily driven by their experiences that shape their capability, qualities, and perspective; however, the pathways that individuals take are not only broad and varied, but also equally affected by personal life decisions and external factors. This paper describes a two-fold study that aimed to: a) provide insight into commonalities in the career journeys of systems engineering leaders, and b) ascertain how key areas affect career development. Five key areas were explored: education, technical experience, soft skills experience, job satisfaction, and work-life balance. A mixed and multi-method approach was taken, gathering data from sixty-one participants through interviews, surveys, and facilitated workshop. The study found that although there was no ‘blueprint’ that yields successful systems engineering leadership, there were themes/trends that were common. An influence model was developed to highlight these trends in the form of the key areas, factors affecting them, and the interrelationships between them.

系统工程领导职业发展的系统观点
系统工程领导者的职业发展历程主要由他们的经历所驱动,这些经历塑造了他们的能力、素质和视角;然而,个人所走的道路不仅广泛多样,而且同样受到个人生活决策和外部因素的影响。本文介绍了一项双重研究,旨在:a) 深入了解系统工程领导者职业生涯历程中的共性;b) 确定关键领域如何影响职业发展。研究探讨了五个关键领域:教育、技术经验、软技能经验、工作满意度和工作与生活的平衡。研究采用了混合和多种方法,通过访谈、调查和协助研讨会从 61 名参与者那里收集数据。研究发现,虽然没有 "蓝图 "能产生成功的系统工程领导力,但有一些共同的主题/趋势。研究开发了一个影响模型,以关键领域、影响因素和它们之间的相互关系的形式来突出这些趋势。
