From chaos to control: driving transformation through leadership

Government interventions, protectionist policies, and fluctuating tariffs continue to disrupt global energy markets, leading to increased chaos for energy leaders to navigate. While the implementation of new processes, technologies and approaches certainly has a role to play in building resilience, success is ultimately secured by the ability of energy leaders to address the emotional, psychological and social needs of their employees, partners and stakeholders to foster a culture of shared responsibility. From addressing resistance and building engagement to promoting advocacy and aligning change with purpose, proactive leaders can inspire their people to embrace transformation as an opportunity to drive inclusive growth and lasting impact.
