About

Hello everyone,

My name is Tom Lawrence and I am an Engineering Manager’s Mentor at highlyeffectiveleader.com, and a Chartered Engineer with The Institution of Mechanical Engineers.

Tom (Me)

There are hundreds of books, training courses and online material that teach us how to be a “leader”. Most of them are good and teach the right things, but I’ve seen very few that teach us how to lead when you’re not a “leader” or if you’re not in a “leadership position”.

I want to change that and I want to provide articles and resources to people who are interested in leading and inspiring others.

I want to help people who are not in leadership positions but are aspiring to become leaders, current managers who want to take the next step and become leaders, and I want to help senior leaders enhance their leadership skills.

I began my career in 1999 as an apprentice mechanical engineer, working for an automotive company in Liverpool.

After completing my apprenticeship I was made redundant from that company and had to find other work, that is when I joined the rail industry working for Merseyside’s train operator.

I worked there for six years, and during that time I achieved my degree in mechanical engineering, my master’s degree in maintenance engineering, and I started my first leadership role as a project manager in 2009.

After leaving Liverpool in 2011, I have worked in Edinburgh, Glasgow and London where I currently live.

I became a chartered engineer in 2013, and I am a mentor for engineering managers who struggle to inspire the engineers within their team.

Working in these different cities I have remained within the engineering industry and led different types of engineering teams, learning and practicing different leadership styles.

It is with this experience that I am the best Engineering Manager’s Mentor I can be and if you are an Engineering Manager, or you have a team of Engineering Managers who need my help, then please don’t hesitate to contact me.
