The 2023-24 season became transformational for 1747 Harrison Boiler Robotics. Post-COVID struggles and finding a groove leading to the State Championship proved challenging—the missing ingredients: setting a simple but effective goal for the team and project management.
This session will provide an overview of some of the leadership and project management philosophies introduced to our student-led team, leading them to attend Worlds for the first time since 2018. From leadership pillars such as Sinek's Golden Circle and Marquet's Intent-Based Leadership, learn how 1747 injected small bits of these frameworks to go from a State hopeful to a Worlds-qualifying team.
These frameworks, plus some basic project management concepts, drove a self-motivated and organized team that pushed beyond several bouts of adversity and raised their expectations higher than they could imagine.
Attendees of this presentation will leave with an understanding of these leadership concepts and the project management methodologies implemented by the team. Furthermore, this session will provide mentors with the building blocks to introduce these transferrable concepts to their student leaders, who will then take them and surprise you with their level of success!
