Demonstrate Integrity
Integrity is essential component in the field of engineering. With the help of proper
integrity it becomes easy to manage the overall performance of the engineers. It is essential for
every engineer to act in an effective manner so that they can enhance their performance. Their
work must reflect their dignity and integrity. According to Rottmann et al. (2018), integrity is an
approach that is used for the purpose of determining the moral values based on an individual
works. Thus for working effectively within an organization, it is important to work with proper
moral values and with proper dignity.
Several authors have evaluated the concept of integrity for engineers through different
aspects. It is important to understand the main concept and reason behind integrating proper
moral values. Integrity is all about the ethical behavior of an individual working within
governance. Thus for working efficiently it is important to have proper moral values.

Exercise Leadership
Efficient leadership practice is essential for executing work properly as a engineer. True
leader has the potential to manage the activities efficiently and ensures that they have the
potential to influence the followers. An effective leadership starts with the fundamental ability to
believe in oneself. It is important for every leader to work efficiently so that it becomes easy to
manage the working structure. The paper has evaluated all the fundamental characteristics that
are needed for exercising effective leadership qualities among the engineers. It is important to
work with proper effort so that it becomes easy to manage the performance. The article is
beneficial for understanding the concept related to leadership qualities.
According to Thomas and Swamy (2017), the author has focused on the fact that for
becoming a successful engineer it is important to have proper leadership qualities. With the help
of effective leadership qualities it becomes easy to execute projects. There is a need to have
proper commitment and self-estimate so that it becomes easy to exercise leadership qualities.
Practice Competently
Engineers shall perform services only based on their area of competence. The article has
explained that competency management is essential for effective management within an
engineering project. It is important for every engineer to have proper competency management.
The article has been analyzed with all the necessary details related to competency management.
The main reason behind selecting this article is that, it offers better knowledge about the concept
of competency management in the field of civil service.
According to Mann et al. (2020), Competency management plays a crucial role and
ensures that proper tasks are executed by the engineers. This provides importance towards the

comparative studies. With the help of proper organizational development it becomes easy to
improve the overall performance of an individual within an organization.
There are several articles that have focused on evaluating the competency factors.
Competency factors needs to be managed efficiently so that it becomes easy to obtain
outstanding and satisfactory results. An individual with proper competency skills has the
potential to meet the needs of the organization efficiently.
