collected during this study were both qualitative and quantitative, making this a mixedmethods study. The data we collected to extract creativity were mainly qualitative. Though therewere 11 instruments in total that we could use to extract data, and 13 graduate engineering studentsparticipating in the study (in 5 groups: G1 to G5), we had only nine complete sets for all 11instruments. As a result, we used a critical case study approach for our analysis.RQ1: How do engineering students perceive the importance of creativity in their leadershipdevelopment before and after creativity instruction?To answer our first research question, we examined the pre-course questionnaire and comparedthe participants’ ratings and reasons with their post-course self

employees, despite the many overall organizational benefits. Further, the literature indicatesleadership is an important element in the complex stress-employee construct. However, the quantitativedata collection in this study reveals that students in the fields of engineering and management do notconsider increased stress to be a potential outcome of implementing Lean projects. In addition, theanalysis of the survey data identifies opportunities to assist Engineering Managers in effectively dealingwith the negative effects caused by Lean activities.Finally, the results are used to present recommendations for educational and managerial training, soleaders can develop better ability to address the important issue of employee stress in today’s
