In This Virtual Panel Discussion:
The drilling industry has historically been a rough and ready business. People often are promoted due to mechanic skills but without the essential leadership skills needed for organizational success.
When the market returns, it will remain extremely competitive. Today, contractors are expected to manage their business effectively with leaders who know how to deliver safe and efficient operations. Leaders will need to make the right decisions the first time as there will be little patience for error.
Don’t let a good downturn go to waste! This virtual panel discussion will explore key tools to effectively develop tomorrow’s leaders, based on real-world examples in our industry.
Listen to two highly respected drilling CEOs discuss these issues with an expert in leadership development.
This video panel discussion is hosted by Drilling Contractor and sponsored by The REACH Group.
Panelists:
- Thomas Burke, CEO, Rowan Companies
- Christian Beckett, CEO, Pacific Drilling
- Dave Massey, President, The REACH Group
- Mike Killalea, Group VP/Publisher, IADC (moderator)
