recently watched a TED video on the difference between leaders and those who lead—two very distinct roles—and the fundamental differences between the two are so simple, yet so profound. I thought how is it that such a simple concept is so

hard to grasp by many organizations? The differentiating factor was that those who lead always start with the question “WHY?” not “WHAT?” To put that in perspective, most people and organizations always start by answering the question: this is WHAT we do. While those who lead always start by answering the question: this is WHY we do it.What seems so simple to answer actually took some thought and struggle, but then it hit me. I asked myself, “Why do I get out of bed every morning to do what I do?”Do you see how that is different from me stating, “This is what I do when I get out of bed every morning”?

This is my WHY ...I get to celebrate the ability to influence, impact, and shift public opinion. The OGM shows the world that the Energy Industry is sexy—you can find your true passion in this diverse industry, and the saying, “work hard, play harder” does exist! Taking it a step further, I set out to embark on a quest with Young Professionals to build a foundation in this industry and have them integrated with those of more experience. This leaves them engaged, educated, entertained, and enabled to lead this industry as we see a shift in leadership in the ever-so-near future. I get to educate the world that major oil companies invest in many other areas other than oil, and that our demand to stay environmentally friendly to create a sustainable future is backed by facts not assumption. Creating a brand that is built on the foundation of fostering change is inspiring, and the best part is that I get to see a progressive conversion which only motivates me to push further and set the bar even higher. This is why I get out of bed to do what I do every morning.

IMPACT CHANGE, BY ANSWERING THE SIMPLE

QUESTION: WHY?

PUBLISHERS NOTES

hat if we took on sustainability in our energy resources in the same way that we have taken on safety? What do you think that would make available for our future?

We’ve become so good at safety that it’s our top priority above all. Congratulations everyone, we’ve got our priorities straight; that’s for sure! And as life ushers us onward to progress, the next big wave of change that will set the foundation for our future, after safety—is sustainability.  Sustainability is not a singular concept and nor is safety. Sustainability means looking around the landscape of your work lives and identifying if the products, processes, and people are providing sustainable outcomes for the future.  It might mean lowering carbon emissions.  It might mean going green. It might mean a new innovation.  It might mean a new energy mix. It might mean changing the culture of our organizations to serve a sustainable mission.

Here at The OGM, our goal is to “Unite energy nations of the world to create a sustainable new-energy future.” We understand that the definition of sustainability is different for everyone.  What sustainability in your organization means for you can be different from another’s view, but that’s the beauty of it all.  Regardless of the role you play at work, you have a distinct sustainable advantage to see the way forward. 

Imagine a world where everyone focuses on sustainability as a resource in and of itself—a place where we guarantee the future for our people today and our kids tomorrow. It’s not the energy resources that will ef-fectively move us into the future; it’s the way we “think” about energy resources—the sustainable way.

SUSTAINABILITY IS THE NEW SAFETY
