In leadership, knowing when to step down is one of the hardest, yet most vital, decisions. President Joe Biden, with his decades of service, exemplifies this challenge today. His commitment and achievements are undeniable, but recent concerns about his ability to lead highlight a crucial lesson for us all. Stepping down isn’t about failure—it’s about responsibility. It’s about recognizing when our role needs fresh energy and vision for the sake of the organization’s future. This takes immense courage and self-awareness. Key lessons include: 1. Honest Self-Reflection: Regularly evaluate your impact and whether you’re still the best person for the job. 2. Listening to Feedback: Take to heart what colleagues and stakeholders say about your leadership. 3. Prioritizing the Future: Sometimes stepping aside is the best way to ensure long-term success. 4. Mentoring Successors: Prepare those who will follow, ensuring a smooth transition. 5. Embracing Change: Show that adapting and evolving is crucial, even if it means stepping down. President Biden’s situation teaches us that true leadership includes knowing when to let go. It’s a powerful act of integrity that ensures growth and resilience for the future. Let’s lead with the courage to make this tough but necessary choice.

It’s all about the choices we make …   I used to work for GE. I loved my time there. It was full of amazing leaders, including John Rice, who was a vice-chair during my GE time and serves on the board of my employer #bakerhughes today.    He posted a blog post back in 2013 called ‘It’s about the choices we make’. I saved it and have re-read it countless times.   Here’s a paragraph from it:   'I do think we can find a real “balance” from knowing that we have the ability (and flexibility) to get our jobs done and adjust, when necessary, to take care of personal situations. Finding the time to do both is what matters, and the trade-offs are personal'.    It’s fundamentally the same message as my late father taught me/many others; our life’s journey is influenced heavily by many factors including our inheritance and environment, but ultimately it is determined by the choices we make – it’s always up to us.   As busy professionals we often have choices to make between work and family commitments. We can often manage these without clashes, but sometimes we have to make a choice.   This week I had to make a choice.    Do I attend a meeting at work, or go to the school and see my daughter perform a solo song/piano piece as part of a show?   I chose to watch my daughter.   Is my boss mad at me? No.   Does she know? No. (Well, maybe now she does 😂). Did I ensure my input was given ahead of the meeting and then connect with the team after to follow-up? Of course. I found a way to ensure no impact.   Back to John Rice and that blog post. A last quote, if you’re still with me:   ‘I think Jeff Immelt believes I work hard, but I’m not really sure because he doesn’t say and I have never asked. In the end it only matters if I get the job done, which he expects me to do while making time for (and not feeling guilty about) family and personal requirements’.    Our children grow up in a flash. Take every opportunity to witness the important moments. You’ll never regret it. Not once.

What does Energizing Change mean to you? It's an interesting question and one that was our theme at the Baker Hughes Annual Meeting in January. For me, energizing change is about harnessing the urgent need for transformation and turning it into a powerful force for progress. It’s about recognizing the incredible potential within our energy transition and seeing change as a strategic advantage rather than a barrier. Energizing change starts with people. At this crucial juncture, we have the opportunity to redefine operations, advance innovative energy solutions and spearhead sustainable energy development - a critical pathway toward achieving global Net Zero goals. I'm eager to hear your thoughts- what does Energizing Change mean to you? Share your perspective in the comments below. https://lnkd.in/gSYaedZX #BakerHughes #WeAreBakerHughes #EnergyTransition #EnergizingChange #BHAM2024

ANSI B109.5 has been officially published and is now accessible to the public. Here are some key figures that shed light on the extensive effort involved in crafting a new Technical Standard: - Duration: 3 Years - Meetings Held: 25 committee's meetings - Total Working Hours: 592 hours of joint Taskforce works (+ home works) - Contributors: 28 individuals with an average attendance of 12 per meeting Developing such a comprehensive standard presented a series of challenges and valuable lessons, including the importance of Regulatory Compliance, Stakeholder Consensus, Resource Constraints, Accessibility and Usability. This standard specifically focuses on setting the minimum design, material, performance, and testing requirements for natural gas service regulators. It addresses a range of overpressure protection options to ensure safety in the gas industry.

I'm grateful to Energy Impact Partners for recognizing the work we're doing at World Kinect to support innovation in decarbonization for our businesses and those of our customers. It's certainly been an exciting endeavor and rewarding for me both personally and professionally to be part of the team leading our initiatives within World Kinect Sustainability Ventures. One key takeaway over these last several years is that there is no “silver bullet” when it comes to solving the vast complexities of the energy transition. Bold exploration requires collaboration and by partnering with early-stage companies through EIP, as well as other forward-thinking companies in the energy sector, we can successfully tackle this global challenge. #sustainability #energytransition

Do I have to celebrate Pride? The last couple of years, I have been an executive sponsor of Equinor’s Pride Makers, our employee led LGBTQ+ community. I’m deeply impressed by this group, and their drive to help our company become an even better place to work. When we talk about the work Pride Makers does, we are overwhelmingly met with a lot of support. But there are still those who see things differently. I’ve made a decision to not spend time on arguing with people. Simply because I think my time is better spent on showing what I stand for. But I’ll make an exception today, and answer some of the comments and questions I sometimes get. First: There are too many different flags. Sure thing, there are a few flags to choose from. But there are 450 different sodas, and more than a thousand flavours of ice cream in the world, and people seem to be cool with that. If you find it difficult to choose, just go with Rainbow. It looks good on just about anyone. Second: Pride is divisive and extreme. Sorry to disappoint. Most of my friends just want to be as boring as the rest of us. They just want to be themselves. Who people love isn’t really a big deal. Or, it shouldn’t be. Finally: Why do you force Pride on us? Do I have to celebrate it? No, absolutely not. We’re not going to force anyone to think everyone deserves to be treated with respect. Actually, it’s kind of part of the concept. You’re free to make your own choices. Other questions?

Dr. Jen Welter brought the #energy while closing the Women's Energy Network Global Conference! With a career of firsts, most notably the first National Football League (NFL) female coach, Dr Jen is no stranger to being the “only” in a room. But, she channeled all of her experience into a remarkable keynote, with the following as just a few of my favorite takeaways: ✅ Trust yourself. Believing in your own abilities turns impossible into I’m possible. 🧬 The way to being superhuman is being a super human. Lead with kindness and curiosity. Judge and assume less. 👂🏻 “Tell me more.” This simple sentence can help you to learn more about what someone else is experiencing. Use this more. 🌪️ Be a DIC, aka Disruptor in Chief. 🤩 Be authentically you. Everyone else is taken. ⏰ Always have a minute. As a leader, it is important to notice when someone is struggling, especially at something that they would normally hit out of the park. Leveraging empathy and compassion can help them to get in the right mindset resolve their distractions, so they can get their head back in the work or game. 🫂 Embrace the messy to embrace change. Nothing is perfect, but every experience and challenge is an opportunity to learn and grow. I am so happy to have gotten to know this amazing woman, first through the #WENpodcast and now in person. #CheersToNewFriends #ImPossible #TellMeMore #BeingSuperHuman #DIC #BeAuthenticallyYou #EveryoneElseIsTaken #AlwaysHaveAMinute #EmbraceMessy2EmbraceChange #leadership #WEN2024 #WENConference #WEN
