This book celebrates the efforts of women in the international
systems engineering community. While there are dozens of books that
tackle the topic of systems engineering and thousands of books that
address leadership, this book is unique. Emerging Trends in Systems
Engineering Leadership: Practical Research from Women Leaders
presents personal, well-researched, hands-on perspectives of
emerging trends in systems engineering leadership from industry,
government, and academia, covering timely topics applicable across
many domains - all under one cover. This book presents material for
engineers, scientists, technologists, and others to help them
tackle challenges in their everyday work dealing with complex
socio-technical systems. The book provides guidance for leaders on
shoring up essential (soft) skills to address the increasing demand
for professional competencies; addresses diversity, equity,
inclusion, and empowering women in the workforce; discusses broader
facets of systems engineering leadership including systems
thinking, ethics and utilitarianism; and investigates the impact of
emerging technological change on systems resilience and the digital
enterprise. This book provides a multi-perspective approach for
leaders to navigate a changing world and develop and deliver
optimal system solutions to global societal challenges that meet
human needs. To this end, the authors extend beyond the solid
technical base to encompass the human aspect of system behavior.
This book is written by twenty-six female authors (three of whom
also serve as the editors) from around the world at varying career
stages who share their research, achievements, perspectives, and
successes in emerging areas of systems engineering leadership.
Testimonials: "As the systems that modern society depends on get
more complicated and complex, we are in the midst of a renaissance
with regard to research relating to systems engineering and
science. A vast majority of this research is focused on the
development of a modern toolkit for systems engineers today and
into the future. This takes the form of new and improved methods,
models, methodology, processes and tools. This research is critical
but likely insufficient without a focus on the most valuable
resource with regard to systems engineering within any organization
- the human resource. Therein lies the focus of this textbook. It
addresses systems engineering leadership from a variety of
perspectives, while also addressing broad aspects relating to
mentoring and the necessary evolving competencies that we need to
address in today's workforce. This emphasis makes this book unique.
The icing on the cake is that all the chapters in this textbook are
written by contemporary women leaders - this provides a necessary
and unique perspective on the topic of leadership - that is long
overdue! I highly recommend this textbook to all my colleagues in
academia, industry, and government." Dinesh Verma, Ph.D.Professor,

Institute of Technology, Hoboken, NJ 07030 "The past decade has
seen a dramatic increase in the number of women who are formally
recognized in systems engineering technical, management and
leadership positions in all sectors. With industry, academia,
professional systems engineering societies and publishers enabling
and illuminating the growing and substantial contributions of women
in engineering, women have unprecedented opportunities today to
contribute to systems engineering in both leadership and management
positions. This volume, a compendium of chapters written by
enterprising international women leaders at various stages in their
career, addresses diverse topics such as leadership, management,
empowerment, equity, diversity, inclusion, and mentoring. It is a
valuable resource for engineering management courses in academia,
systems engineering leadership training in industry, and Diversity,
Equity, and Inclusion program development by Human Resource
departments in industry, academia, and government." Azad M. Madni,
