Transforming energy through leadership development

Energy leaders are navigating an increasingly volatile and complex ecosystem where cultivating exceptional talent has become the cornerstone of industry resilience. The challenge now is how to lead and mentor talent to ensure they are equipped with the right tools to succeed.

Achieving this requires a spirit of collaboration and a strong sense of community among industry leaders, stakeholders, and emerging talent. Through leadership initiatives and collective coaching, today’s CEOs can ensure their legacies are passed on to capable future leaders, empowering them to work together to implement strategies that meet the world’s rising energy needs responsibly and effectively.

Additionally, with the industry’s rapid transformation on sustainability, digitalisation and AI, today’s energy leaders must seek to attract and develop their successors who can be mentored to embrace the energy sector’s ongoing evolution. Companies need to attract the best talent to solve emerging challenges whilst cultivating an inclusive and engaging employee experience.

Attracting and retaining the energy talent required to deliver the energy transition

In 2023, the IEA reported that energy employment reached nearly 67 million in 2022, with about 35 million in clean energy sectors and about 32 million in fossil fuel sectors. Its Net Zero Emissions by 2050 scenario projects that 14 million new clean energy jobs will need to be created by 2030, while another 16 million workers shift to new roles related to clean energy. Energy organisations have equally critical dual challenges - securing talent and skills to deliver the new energy system while retaining legacy talent and skills for traditional energy production. As with the energy transition itself, solutions will be complex and must take into account employee value proposition evolution, rising employee expectations, the opportunities enabled by a global talent pool, and efficiencies created by emerging new technologies like AI and machine learning. In an increasingly competitive labour market, how can businesses attract and retain the energy talent required to deliver the energy transition?
