Our electrical engineering team has developed this pattern where we all nod along when the senior engineer proposes solutions but then we spend hours after meetings redesigning things because his approaches don't account for the physical constraints we're actually dealing with in the field. We've been doing this shadow engineering work for months and I don't think he realizes how much rework we're doing or how it's affecting our project timelines.
More people experience this than they realize.
A team is expending enormous energy working around someone instead of working with them, creating a hidden system that serves no one.
“Where Are You with Engineering — Electrical (Physical Systems)?”
Peri can explain why this happens, help you decide if this is the right situation for you, and point toward the right journey or coach.
If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
