• In many technical fields, interpersonal dynamics receive less emphasis than technical performance. However, studies show that awareness and influenceInfluences of the team dynamicsTeam dynamics by the project leadProject lead is a key factor in determining projectProjects success. As such, mentoringMentoring and knowledgeKnowledge sharing should be incorporated into systems engineeringSystems engineeringprocessesProcesses with the same level of rigor as technical considerations. This chapter is based on the experiences of systems engineering leadersSystems engineering leaders who enabled technical success by applying systems engineeringSystems engineering principles to engineer their team as a system. A cohort of International Council on Systems EngineeringSystems engineering (INCOSE) certified Systems Engineering ProfessionalsSystems Engineering Professionals (SEPs) embarked on a series of interviews with 24 female industry experts to identify common themes in systems engineeringSystems engineeringleadershipEngineering leadership and key enablers for projectProjects success. The following compounding themes were identified during these interviews: (1) systems engineering as an enabler for effective team dynamicsTeam dynamics and the impact to projectProjects success; (2) team dynamics and the importance of communicationCommunications in creating and maintaining effective systems engineeringSystems engineering teams; (3) communication and its role in knowledgeKnowledge sharing and team performance; and (4) knowledge transfer facilitated by mentorshipMentorship. This chapter discusses the importance of engineering a team as a system and describes how consideration of the human element into aspects such as system designSystem design and industry best practices generates favorable outcomes throughout the systems engineeringSystems engineeringlifecycleLifecycles.
