The document discusses the challenges facing the oil and gas industry due to a perfect storm of disruptive forces including an aging workforce, talent shortage, and changing world of work. It argues that companies need to invest in leadership development to guide their organizations through these turbulent times. Specifically, it recommends using a leadership model that 1) measures outcomes based on talent metrics, 2) assesses leadership qualities, and 3) develops key capabilities to adapt and perform effectively. This model will help companies select and develop leaders who can navigate disruptions and position the organization for sustainable success.
“Labor markets now are like raging river rapids.
Scrambling to the bank to escape it is not an option
because it will flow on without you. You have to follow
the river and master it, constantly paddling and
navigating. There is no calm blue ocean at the end;
the process never ends.”
— Jeffrey Joerres, ManpowerGroup Chairman and CEO
The document discusses challenges facing leadership in the mining industry. A lack of strong leadership has contributed to declining productivity. As mining operations become more complex and global, the skills needed in leaders have diversified, yet there is a shrinking pool of leadership talent. The aging of experienced baby boomer workers exacerbates this problem, as they exit the workforce with decades of knowledge. Solutions proposed include retaining retiring workers in consulting roles, importing leadership from other industries, and better defining the skills needed for leaders in the modern mining industry.
Talent Agenda in VUCA times - Sankalp Sharmaoshorock
The document discusses how the increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) business environment is impacting talent management strategies. It outlines how the workforce is shifting due to factors like globalization, digitization and changing demographics. It argues that HR must help organizations become more adaptive and agile by focusing talent acquisition on agile thinking, using scenario planning for workforce needs, developing leaders' strategic thinking abilities, and building capabilities like change management, innovation and virtual collaboration across employees. The new talent agenda requires treating talent as a strategic partner to help organizations sustain growth in unpredictable times.
This document summarizes key human capital strategies discussed in the book "Capturing the People Advantage". It discusses how companies are applying differentiated talent strategies to attract, develop, and retain employees. It also highlights the importance of leadership development, integrating learning with business goals, and cultivating an adaptable workforce.
This document discusses innovation and transformation in the workplace. It provides an overview of the Durham Region HRPA chapter magazine which focuses on shaping organizational excellence through innovation and managing technological change. The president's message emphasizes that HR is essential to innovation and how the HR profession and certifications are evolving to take on more strategic roles. It also discusses how the Durham Region has transformed from an automotive-focused economy to one centered around innovation and new technologies.
Better managers, better business - a thought paperPete Fullard
We’re all in business and we’re all constantly searching for the same thing. Something magical with the power to create profit without changing our products, services or customers.
The good news is that I’ve found it! And it may not be quite what you were expecting. It’s been around longer than any technology. It requires no market intelligence. And there’s not a hashtag or emoji in sight! Even better, is that there’s a simple three-step plan to harness it. Or should I say ‘them’.
Because the opportunity is to be found in our people. Particularly our managers who have the ability to take our culture, our people and our performance to new levels. Like all the greatest opportunities, it has been caused by change. People like us who are running businesses are (on average) getting older. Yet, in Asia, seventy percent of employees are Millennials. Elsewhere in the world that number is over thirty percent. Between them and the directors who pay their wages lies a huge gulf in culture, expectations and values.
The ‘C’ suite within so many businesses remains linear and traditional. They have grown-up in a world where the numbers come first, and the culture comes a distant second at best. Employees, on the other hand, are more agile and value-led. They choose to work in ethical, progressive and consultative environments. They are uninspired by the ‘same old’ approach to HR, training and culture. They are desperate to find something newer, better and more empathetic and they are willing to move jobs to find it.
This presents an incredible opportunity. The vast majority of businesses are not bridging the culture gap. They have focused on what their customers want, without making a similar adjustment to the ever-changing needs of their employees. This is so easy to change. Many great businesses have already done it. The majority are run by Millennials. They recognise that, even in the age of technology, people remain our greatest asset, and can produce the greatest returns of all. Each has delivered on these three simple steps:
• They have a clear corporate vision embracing everything they do
• With an agility that allows their people to flourish
• And an empathy that allows them to embrace, not repel, their people
In that setting, managers can be empowered to motivate and engage. We can help those who are more experienced develop more current skills through coaching and mentoring rather than box-ticking and lecturing. They, in turn, can harness the talent within our Millennial and Generation Z workforce. Investing in a new app may be sexier, but developing our people will have a much deeper and more meaningful impact on the bottom line.
I really hope this thought piece is different. It addresses fundamental issues that are holding back so many businesses and presents a better way forward.
Medium-sized companies (the definition varies by country) also have some unique challenges. Those that are in the fastest-growing verticals usually face competition from their larger peers, whether in the marketplace or in the quest for top talent. In particular, a medium-sized company can often find itself in a hiring bidding war with a larger company for the same person—or for a person the larger company already employs. If the medium-sized company doesn’t win the bidding war, the disappointment is magnified. Medium-sized companies’ relatively small staff sizes make each hire that much more important.

IN THIS SUMMARY
CEOs face a life that not many people have the opportunity to experience. Not only are they in a position to effect great change, but as leaders of companies, they also have an incredible amount of responsibility and accountability on their shoulders. Adapting to change and navigating a company through both success and failure can be hugely challenging, yet there are CEOs who seem to do it with ease and confidence. What are their secrets? In The New Secrets of CEOs, authors Steve Tappin and Andrew Cave explore this very question and delve into the mindset of a CEO. After conducting hundreds of interviews with CEOs, Tappin and Cave present a broad spectrum of executive insights, thoughts on what drives them, and how they operate.

The document discusses the key forces that will shape tomorrow's business environment: demographic changes, rapid technological development, and globalization. It argues that tomorrow's executives will need to focus on attracting and retaining talent, adapting to constant change, and developing a deep understanding of customers. Specifically, executives will need to embrace change, drive agile execution, strengthen human capital, delegate responsibilities, and leverage their entire network to succeed in the future.
This document summarizes perspectives from interviews with several CEOs on the challenges of leading companies that operate in both mature and emerging markets (a "two-speed economy"). The CEOs highlighted the need to: 1) Lead from the global field by frequently traveling overseas to engage with local teams and customers; 2) Balance the demands of mature and emerging market businesses; 3) Adapt to different cultural norms and engagement styles in various countries; and 4) Develop a globally-minded talent pool that can thrive in diverse business environments. Operating successfully in both developed and developing economies requires excelling at these four critical capabilities, according to the interviewed corporate leaders.
Windsor Conference Has Hr Learned From The Past Mtim 1010Marc Timmerman
The document discusses challenges in talent management for the future. It argues that while the economic crisis will subside, a talent shortage crisis will remain. Organizations must balance short-term cost cutting with long-term talent retention strategies to ensure future success. Looking ahead, talent management will become more complex and individualized as diversity, flexible work arrangements, and engagement of different generations all grow in importance. Technology will also transform how organizations interact with and develop talent.

The document discusses how many companies are shifting to globally integrated operating models where the home country is just one of many markets. This trend is being driven by the rise of global customer and talent markets, hyperconnectivity, cost pressures, and increased regulation. As companies make this transition, HR is playing an important role by helping design new global operating models, manage global talent, and lead change efforts across the organization. The shift represents a significant transformation that will require changes to structures, processes, and mindsets.
1) The most pressing HR challenge for organizations in 2012 is a lack of high-potential leaders, according to 31% of respondents. Additionally, 23% cited a shortage of talent at all levels.
2) Lean times have made it difficult for organizations to recruit, retain, and develop future leaders. Companies are also concerned about retaining top talent and losing them to other opportunities.
3) HR leaders must work with senior leaders to address concerns about leadership pipelines and retention by focusing on employee engagement, motivation, and career development.
This document discusses leveraging gender intelligence in searching for entrepreneurial talent. It argues that businesses need to adopt a new perspective that views talent through a gender intelligence lens in order to identify rising talent, especially among women. A gender intelligence approach can help create an unbiased work environment and allow hidden talents to emerge. It also discusses how the nature of work and leadership styles are changing as more women enter the workforce and bring different skills, like strong communication and multitasking abilities. To be successful, businesses must understand these changes and look beyond preconceived biases to view all potential candidates, both men and women, as viable sources of talent.
In November 2009 Lander Associates held a Leadership Symposium which comprised of fourteen business professionals with a range of backgrounds: recruitment; HR; finance; academia and consultancy who met to exchange views on the challenges and opportunities posed by a new decade – and to share ideas on how to successfully manage those challenges and opportunities.
Lander Associates has produced a white paper detailing the challenges leaders face and looking forward to 2010 and beyond.
As a result of this symposium we developed a brand new suite of leadership courses which focus on the real skills needed by front line managers/team leaders post recession. We then partnered with Chartered Management Institute (CMI) to become an Approved Centre. This means we can now offer the only recruitment specific, international leadership qualification.

A ManpowerGroup insight paper that explains how leaders can unleash organisational agility in the face of unpredictable macroeconomic forces.
Originally presented at the WEF 2014 in Davos, Switzerland, it explains that simplification must be CEO-driven and supported by a fully-aligned leadership team, with CHROs playing a critical role in implementing a one-size-fits-one talent strategy that encompasses people practices, work models and talent sources.
This document introduces the P3 Leader Model for predicting, developing, and measuring leadership effectiveness. The model focuses on three key areas:
1. Outcomes - Metrics that measure impact on business performance and human motivation, not just financial terms.
2. Enablers - Personal attributes aligned with leading through uncertain times, such as agility, courage, and investing in skills.
3. Capabilities - Coachable skills that matter most for delivering outcomes, such as developing talent and innovation.
The model was created based on research into trends transforming the workplace and interviews with business leaders to identify the most important components of effective leadership. It provides a systematic approach for building strong leadership through talent identification, development,
This document introduces the P3 Leader Model for predicting, developing, and measuring leadership effectiveness in today's dynamic business environment. It discusses trends like talent shortages, uncertain economic conditions, empowered consumers, and technological innovation that are challenging traditional leadership models. The P3 Leader Model focuses on three key areas: outcomes related to business and talent performance, personal attributes that enable leadership under uncertainty, and coachable skills to achieve outcomes. It is designed to help organizations build strong leadership pipelines by identifying high-potential talent and developing the right capabilities.
The document outlines four megatrends impacting the world of work according to a Manpower Inc. analysis:
1) Demographic and economic shifts are accelerating talent shortages, requiring agile talent strategies and continuous training to retain a job-ready workforce.
2) Understanding individual motivations and work preferences is key to attracting and managing a multi-generational workforce.
3) Small and medium businesses can leverage relationships to compete amid increased marketplace complexity and pressure on workforce productivity.
4) Rapid technology changes, globalization, and environmental focuses increase choice and require sustainability in how and where work is performed.
The document discusses many challenges facing businesses today, including rapid changes in technology and workforce expectations. Key issues include the need to engage employees and adapt management styles to keep talented workers committed. High employee engagement is linked to higher productivity, profits and retention, while disengagement costs businesses significantly. The document emphasizes the importance of communication, motivation, and creating a sense of well-being for employees.
Global HR transformation strategies must focus on developing capabilities that enable business strategies by supporting growth, globalization, talent management, and managing risks and costs. HR functions should establish capabilities that are business-driven, scalable, repeatable, and standardized to effectively support companies as they navigate changing market forces and pursue growth opportunities. Looking ahead, HR must adapt by delivering more than just efficient operations - it must develop forward-thinking capabilities that allow businesses to leverage HR's strengths in their strategic planning.
The document discusses an approach to identifying and developing effective leaders called the P3 Leader model. The model focuses on three key areas:
1) Effective leadership outcomes that measure a leader's impact on talent and business performance.
2) Effective leadership enablers that assess inherent personal attributes that indicate potential for leadership success.
3) Effective leadership capabilities that can be developed to accelerate performance, unleash talent, and dare to lead.
The model provides a systematic way for organizations to build strong leadership pipelines by predicting potential leaders, developing the right capabilities, and measuring outcomes related to talent and business performance.
The document discusses McKinsey & Company's research on "the war for talent" - the phenomenon of increased competition among companies for highly skilled workers. It finds that having strong talent is now critical for business success given the knowledge-based economy. However, attracting and retaining talent is also becoming more difficult. The war for talent will persist for decades due to demographic trends reducing the future supply of managerial talent. While most companies recognize winning this war is important, few feel prepared to strengthen their talent pools. The document outlines five imperatives that top performing companies follow: instilling a talent mindset, creating an attractive employee value proposition, continuously recruiting talent, growing great leaders, and differentiating and affirming employees. It urges
The document discusses how changes in technology, demographics, and the economy are disrupting labor markets and the world of work. Key points:
1) Structural shifts like population decline, skills mismatches, and new technologies are creating uncertainty and instability in labor markets.
2) Traditional employer-employee relationships and career models are breaking down as individual choice and the demand for skills increases.
3) To adapt, employers will need more flexible workforce strategies, new approaches to talent development, and better talent branding, while workers will need to take charge of lifelong learning.
4) The future of work is emerging, characterized by more dynamic and self-driven careers, on-demand work models, and a
The document discusses how changes in technology, demographics, and the economy are disrupting labor markets and the world of work. Key points:
1) Structural forces like aging populations, globalization, and technological change have created economic instability and disrupted traditional labor markets.
2) This has led to the emergence of new ways of working, including more flexible and on-demand work arrangements.
3) The labor market is broken and needs reconfiguration to address issues like skills mismatches and changing worker-employer relationships. A new 21st century world of work is emerging from this disruption.

It finds that having strong talent is now critical for business success given the knowledge-based economy. However, attracting and retaining talent is also becoming more difficult. The war for talent will persist for decades due to demographic trends reducing the future supply of managerial talent. While most companies recognize winning this war is important, few feel prepared to strengthen their talent pools. The document outlines five imperatives that top performing companies follow: instilling a talent mindset, creating an attractive employee value proposition, continuously recruiting talent, growing great leaders, and differentiating and affirming employees. It urges

PwC's 18th Annual Global CEO Survey 2015: Exploring the importance of technol...James Woodworth
Rethinking the business you’re in
We live in an era of unprecedented digital change – the type of change that’s reshaping the relationship between customers and companies, breaking down the walls between industry sectors and, by extension, prompting forward-thinking CEOs to question the very business they’re in.
Watch this short video to hear about what CEOs had to say on the global economic outlook and their own growth prospects for the months and
One year ago business leaders’ feelings towards growth were sombre across the globe. A year later, and while Australian CEOs are feeling mildly more up-beat than their global peers, significant concerns still remain.
This year, we asked executives about their thoughts across key issues including partnerships, digital, talent and diversity, growth, capabilities, tax and regulation.
There is a dichotomy of perspectives across the board – with CEOs seeing as many threats to their business today as there are opportunities.
This document summarizes key findings from PwC's 18th Annual Global CEO Survey. The survey interviewed over 1,300 CEOs from 77 countries. Some of the main findings include:
1) 61% of CEOs see more opportunities for their businesses today than three years ago, while 59% see more threats. Many CEOs believe they can adapt to changing conditions.
2) CEO confidence in their own business growth prospects remains high despite concerns about the global economy and rising business risks. CEOs in Asia Pacific, North America, and the Middle East see the most opportunities.
3) To succeed, CEOs must focus on creating new opportunities through digital technologies rather than relying solely on market-led

Selon la 18e édition de l’étude mondiale annuelle « Global CEO Survey » de PwC, dans le cadre de laquelle plus de 1 300 dirigeants ont été interrogés, 37 % d’entre eux estiment que la croissance mondiale sera meilleure en 2015, contre 44 % l'année dernière. Cependant, ils restent confiants dans leur capacité à générer une croissance du chiffre d’affaires de leur propre entreprise (39%, un niveau identique à celui de l’année dernière).
Les dirigeants soulignent que les menaces auxquelles ils sont confrontés ont augmenté ces trois dernières années : ils insistent notamment sur la montée en force de la concurrence, avec un marché qui devient sans frontières et l’arrivée de nouveaux concurrents issus de secteurs d’activité différents.
Pour rester compétitifs, les dirigeants identifient trois leviers essentiels : la transformation digitale, le renforcement des partenariats et la diversité des talents.
Les résultats de cette étude sont rendus publics aujourd'hui à l'ouverture du Forum économique mondial à Davos, en Suisse.
Pour cette 18e édition de l’étude mondiale annuelle de PwC « Global CEO Survey », 1 322 interviews ont été conduites dans 77 countries entre septembre et décembre 2014. 459 entretiens ont été menés en Asie-Pacifique, 455 en Europe, 147 en Amérique du Nord, 167 en Amérique latine, 49 en Afrique et 45 au Moyen-Orient.
The document discusses the challenges that business leaders face in today's globalized and rapidly changing business environment (VUCA world). It outlines several trends contributing to this complex landscape, including increased competition, need for flexibility and knowledge workers, outsourcing, diverse workforces, and changing customer demands. The main challenges for leaders are learning to navigate high volatility and uncertainty, while dealing with organizational transformations that break traditional models. Success requires understanding these trends, cultivating knowledge as a competitive advantage, and ensuring workforces can adapt to constant change.
The document discusses the challenges that organizations face in attracting and retaining top talent in a dynamic business environment. It notes that the availability of skilled workers is declining globally while demand is increasing, leaving companies competing intensely for talent. The imperative for organizations is to take a strategic and customized approach to talent management focusing on components like high potential development, leadership, and performance management in order to achieve competitive advantage.
How to Develop Technical Leaders in the Oil & Gas IndustryLucas Group
There are two obvious sides to a technical leader. One size does not fit all. But finding the right mix between technical and leadership skills requires understanding your company’s strategic objectives and operational culture. There are some important variables to consider when marrying professional intellect with emotional maturity.
The document provides an overview of the key findings from a global survey of over 2,500 business and HR leaders in 94 countries on important human capital trends. The top findings were: 1) Leadership development, retention and engagement, reskilling HR, and talent acquisition were rated as the most urgent issues. 2) There is a large gap between the perceived urgency of these issues and organizations' readiness to address them. 3) Leadership development was seen as the single most urgent issue. 4) Retention and engagement was the second most urgent issue but often lacks clear ownership. 5) Reskilling HR was also a top priority as HR transforms its role from administration to a business partner.

2. 2 Leading Through Turbulent Times – Into the Storm: Facing Modern Disruption in Oil & Gas
T
his isn’t the first time the oil and gas industry has faced disruption.
Today, however, the industry is confronting structural changes on all
fronts. Renewable energy solutions are taking root, OPEC continues
to challenge its competitors with over saturation, national oil companies have
greater power, and regulations are on shifting sands. All this is occurring while
the aftershocks from the industry downturns of the ‘80s, ‘90’s and mid 2000’s
continue rippling outward.
Having missed out on an entire generation of workers because of the 80’s industry
crisis, oil and gas companies have struggled ever since to retain a dwindling talent
pool of highly skilled workers. Today, the combination of an aging workforce now
at retirement age, the absence of Generation X and the arrival of the Millennials has
resulted in a severe talent gap—known to the industry as the Great Crew Change.
Many companies have been preparing for over a decade in an attempt to soften the
impact of the talent gap created by this demographic shift, but no one could have
predicted the seemingly endless challenges that the modern world would present.
Disruption has become a new normal across all industries globally, but for oil and
gas, the crisis of the talent gap is being magnified to disastrous proportions.
The modern world of work is rife with turmoil, conflict and change. Everywhere we are
seeing talent pools shrinking, creating a widening disparity in necessary skills. Workers
have (and demand) greater mobility, while the competition for talent has become
increasingly global. On top of this, technology has revolutionized the way that
people think, learn and communicate. Our world has once again entered a new era
of human progress—the Technology Age has given way
to the Human Age, where talent overtakes capital as
the key driver of business success. This signifies a new reality
that business’ must learn to operate within.
The dawn of the Human Age has rapidly evolved into a new world, and as the old
pieces fall away, a new 21st Century world of work is emerging. Even those companies
that have been preparing to manage the looming talent gap for years could not have
As a result of the dearth of employees entering
the energy field between 1984 and 1999, mid-career
professionalsarenowinshortsupply, and the
industry finds itself with a large group of workers
heading towards retirement and another group of
inexperienced Millennials unready to replace them.1

anticipated the impact of the modern world on the oil and gas industry. Perhaps the greatest multi-faceted
challenges the industry has ever faced, this mass exodus of skilled and experienced workers combined with
the disruptive onset of the Human Age has extreme implications for oil and gas.
Technology, individual choice, shifting demographics, education, global competition for talent,
not to mention the influence of international economics and politics… this perfect storm leaves
no other options. Industries everywhere are looking for effective strategies to overcome this.
Confronted with these difficulties, organizations are turning to their leadership for answers. Alarmingly,
too many companies are finding their leaders unqualified—or simply unable—to lead their
organizations and industries through these turbulent times. In 40% of companies, leaders are
unprepared to meet the business issues they will face over the next three to five years.2
In a market that is oversupplied, we see forward thinking companies quickly adapting—through
preparation and internal investment—to better combat both price volatility and geopolitical uncertainty.
They understand that purely tactical approaches will not offer the enduring solutions required
to survive and thrive.
Visionary oil and gas companies are looking beyond cutting costs and are now focused on becoming
more agile, flexible and adaptable in these times of certain uncertainty. Those that are unable to adapt
will disappear, while those that learn to thrive in today’s disruptive global environment will be capable
of responding to the constantly evolving economic, demographic and technological forces that characterize
the Human Age.
Leadership in these turbulent times is key— there is no question that leading successfully
in today’s world demands creativity, flexibility and vision to weather this perfect storm and
remain competitive.

Investing in Your Leadership:
Ensuring Your Success
The Only Way Out is Through the Storm
In the Human Age, companies can no longer count on maintaining a sustainable competitive advantage
by using 20th century rules. The quality of an organization’s people are what truly determines
success and by investing in their own people—instead of an age-defining technology as with the
past—the world of work will change yet again. It’s already underway. Companies that recognize this
and invest in their people are going to be those that attract and retain top level talent.
So what do you do? How do you succeed in this new world? How do you overcome so many
disruptive changes?
Invest in your leadership.
They are your organization’s eyes, ears, mind, and in the Human Age, the heart as well. Leaders must
engage today’s top talent in order to retain them, while simultaneously possessing a wide array of skills
that can safely navigate your organization—and the oil and gas industry as a whole—through these
extremely turbulent times.
By investing in your company’s leadership, you give them the ability to build a talent-driven
organization that is primed to achieve and sustain high performance in today’s business environment
in addition to maintaining the traditional metrics for business performance. In the Human Age, talent is
the key source of a sustainable advantage and effective leaders not only understand this, but are
capable of unleashing talent in other people.
In order to position your leadership to operate successfully in today’s turbulent times, you’ll need to
find and implement a systematic approach that builds a solid foundation enabling your leadership
to guide your organization to sustainable success. Your leader model should methodically develop
a strong leadership pipeline by identifying talent with the greatest potential for success, help them
develop a focused set of capabilities, and actively manage their performance by measuring and
rewarding relevant outcomes.
There are plenty of leadership development models your organization can choose from, but with the
many disruptive challenges looming, your company cannot afford to select one that ends up being
ineffective. We’ve seen too many organizations struggle with—and ultimately abandon—leadership
models prescribing a lengthy and complex list of requirements that prove too difficult, costly and time
consuming to complete.
In many organizations we still see future leaders selected on
gut-feel, time in the job or some other finger-in-the-wind valuation.
It’s time for a new model, focused on specific, measurable, business-
driven outcomes.

To be genuinely efficient, agile and help their organization remain relevant in today’s dynamic business
environment—especially in the oil and gas industry—organizations must ensure that the right talent is in
place to enable it to meet its business needs. Finding a leadership model that is capable of delivering
real, actionable results right now is no easy task.
A powerful leader model needs to do 3 key things to enable the industry to achieve a sustainable, lasting
state in the Human Age. It must measure outcomes defined not only in financial terms but also consider
the metrics that measure the impact on human motivation. The best models will also identify and assess
the inherent enablers of high-potential leaders, which can then be used to capitalize upon and the
capabilities that matter most to delivering the desired outcomes with laser-focused precision.
Effective Leadership Outcomes: Talent is the most valuable asset in business
today and leadership performance metrics must expand to recognize this new
reality. Measuring a leader’s impact on talent-focused outcomes—such as helping
employees realize their potential, grow their careers and contribute meaningfully to the
organization—is just as critical as evaluating financial metrics.
Effective Leadership Enablers: Assessing talent against inherent personal
attributes is a critical step in the methodology. To the extent that these enablers
are part of an individual’s makeup, he or she has greater potential to thrive in
leadership roles, given appropriate development and support.
Effective Leadership Capabilities: Nurturing a narrow set of leadership capabilities
will help organizations focus their developmental resources and money on the areas
most likely to provide the greatest return in organizational performance.
High demand talent today is intent on building a “career for me” versus a “career for life” which
requires a new type of leadership. Leaders today need to think beyond traditional business performance
metrics and work equally hard towards achieving talent-driven objectives. By taking a fresh look at the
inherent personal attributes (enablers) and coachable leadership skills (capabilities), your leadership will be
strategically equipped to be agile, adaptive, creative and overall, far more effective in the new world of work.
You need to give your organization an efficient and streamlined system that guides the selection and
development of leaders, while simultaneously building a framework to measure their impact on individual
employees and the organization as a whole.
Only 20% of managers that are identified as high performers
successfully advance to higher levels of leadership.3

revailing in the age of certain uncertainty is not going to be easy or fast.
Oil and gas companies that are not prepared or unwilling to change are
going to bear the brunt of these coming disruptions. Fierce pressure
is already impacting the industry’s competitive advantage in the markets for
both oil and talent. Most companies are working under the impression that
this incredibly disruptive and unstable work atmosphere is the new normal.
Everyone agrees that the industry isn’t likely to bounce back for
another 5 years or more. Most plan on longer.
Despite the current—and temporary—surplus of oil and gas workers due to recent
layoffs, companies still report that they are aggressively searching for key talent to fill
vital positions. This talent shortage combined with today’s technology-empowered
workforce has created an increasingly competitive global demand for exceptionally
skilled labor. These high-value individuals have greater individual choice with the
freedom to set the terms of their employment and choose where, when and how
they want to work.
Today’s top performing leadership are being rewarded for their agility in decision
making, entrepreneurialism, and prudent risk taking. Securing and implementing
a leadership model designed to prepare your company’s leaders for the new
world of work while delivering measurable outcomes is vital. Empowering your
leaders with the skillsets necessary to develop, integrate and effectively achieve agility
within and across the oil and gas industry—and your organization—will determine
success or failure in the Human Age.
By investing in your leadership, you’re not only ensuring the stability of
your business, but you’re positively engaging with the new generation
while improving the lives, skills and talents of those who will train them.
This mutually beneficial alliance is what the new workforce demands. A leadership
model that enables leaders to unleash talent both in themselves AND within your
organization’s workforce is precisely what oil and gas companies need to get
back in control.
The oil and gas industry needs to be asking questions about these complex
problems. Requiring a multi-tiered investment in solutions across a long span
of time, the most important question to ask yourself is this: “Are your leaders
prepared to successfully lead your organization into the new 21st Century
world of work and mitigate the impact of today’s seemingly endless
market volatility?”
