As digital transformation accelerates, power utilities must adapt by developing both technical and human capacities. This study focused on one electric cooperative, using data from all 102 employees to assess leadership readiness. By comparing this group to 162 engineering managers and 28 C-suite executives, the research identified key gaps in competencies such as opportunity recognition, creative problem solving, and futuristic thinking. Using three dimensions—personal/professional competencies, behavioral leadership styles, and motivational drivers—the analysis revealed areas for development. Recommendations are aligned with the Engineering Management Body of Knowledge (EMBOK) to help build a stronger, future-ready talent pipeline.

Leadership succession is accelerating, placing next-generation leaders—particularly engineering managers—at the center of transition efforts. This study analyzes three groups: 324 doctoral candidates in technology, 261 engineering managers with master’s degrees, and 234 CEOs from various industries. Using multivariate techniques such as principal component analysis, cluster analysis, and ANOVA, the research compares 25 personal and professional competencies and diverse behavioral leadership styles. The goal is to identify leadership gaps and offer targeted development strategies aligned with the Engineering Management Body of Knowledge (EMBOK) to strengthen future engineering leadership.

This study explored the impact of a structured coaching program, centered around the DISC model and on relationship building between mentors and mentees within a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) residency program. Through a 10-month qualitative study, involving 8 participants (4 mentors and 4 mentees), the research highlighted four key themes: the importance of setting expectations, the benefits of accelerated relationship building, the
comfort provided by a non-judgmental environment, and the development of collaborative and adaptive reasoning skills. The findings suggest that a DISC-based coaching program can effectively enhance mentor-mentee relationships and support adaptive clinical reasoning.

This is the first chapter of the 3rd edition of “INTRODUCTION TO QUANTITATIVE EEG AND NEUROFEEDBACK”. The authors were asked to document a new application of EEG by describing how gamma wave asymmetry in the prefrontal cortex can be used to help individuals expose and address implicit memories, biases, addictions, emotional states and even better understand approach-avoidance in our decisions. These new protocols provide real time brain visualization of decision making, thus opening the door to greater self-awareness and ultimately improved self-regulation. This PDF includes the complete table of content. As a result, the first chapter may be found starting on the 21st page.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) has been established as a critical skill with the ability to influence positive outcomes and mitigate challenging situations. Research connects EI to such benefits as better health, superior job performance, and psychological well-being.
EI has also been shown to help moderate the negative impacts of stress. The recent COVID-19 pandemic is well-recognized as a source of unprecedented stress with implications for emotional well-being. This study provides important evidence of the stability of EI during highly stressful and chaotic circumstances.
