Organizational Innovation – Apply entrepreneurial thought to bring technically sound, scientifically based solutions to market.The Toronto model addresses two substantial problems found in the engineering leadershipliterature (Rottmann et al., 2015). First, by promoting an empirically grounded model, theseorientations provide a framework for educators to move away from the piecemeal manner ofeducating engineers in leadership (Graham, 2009). Second, this framework begins to model howengineers lead, not how to lead engineers. However, this work only

Early career engineers may be demonstrating behaviours that others might interpret asleadership but that they might not see as leadership themselves. In order to examine leadershipbehaviors, we used Hartmann’s five engineering leadership themes for
