    Leading is important for engineer managers to influence others and achieve goals. Leaders influence others through referent power, which is leadership based on personal characteristics that cause others to identify with the leader. It is important for leaders to have a desire to lead, otherwise they will not be effective or motivate others. Charisma and human skills are beneficial but not necessary for leadership. Positive leadership motivates and inspires others through encouragement, while negative leadership demotivates others through punishment and criticism. Free-rein leadership gives subordinates independence and discretion, and is appropriate when they are skilled and motivated. Controlling activities and establishing performance standards are important for engineer managers to evaluate progress and ensure goals are met.
