Engineering students study math and physics throughout their academic life and learn to solve problems using basic math and physics rules deterministically, with precision and little interpretation of the solution. Today, as more and more engineers become managers, they find themselves needing more soft skills to lead and manage their team, like getting the “buy-in” from their team, which requires a new “language” that is not part of their vocabulary of engineering.
MGu uses physics principles as leverage in learning to manage teams, demonstrating to them how they can utilize this knowledge to better analyze the situation, recognize the issue, and have a process to solve it. We bring a familiar framework to engineers for organizational change management and team leadership. Using basic physics concepts learned in school, managers can be proactive in shifting their teams efficiently and effectively.
F = MGu
M = size of the organization
G = external influence
u = human interaction
The MGu framework is based on these physics principles — how to move objects (your teams and colleagues) with mass (your organization), the pull of gravity (your external forces) and the coefficient of friction (your teams and colleagues working together.)
