Leadership = Revenue

Where does leadership training fall within your team’s priorities? Although not exclusive to the oil and gas industry, I’ll use the energy industry as an example. When the price of oil per barrel was well over twice what it is today, the oil and gas industry enjoyed record level revenue margins. Today, small companies are going out of business or being consumed by larger companies, while larger companies are “restructuring”.

When the industry enjoyed record revenues and everyone involved in the company was making significant amounts of profit, an argument could be made that leaders didn’t have to focus on leadership training. They didn’t need to spend time on the foundations of leadership that focus on people, procedural compliance, and the tenants that have made the best of teams successful during the most challenging of times – because it simply wasn’t a challenging time.

When an industry is forced to work within the complex world of geopolitics and the industry commodity is devalued, there is little even the largest companies can do to influence net income other than downsize, divest or lay off employees…or is there?

Today, industries of all types are realizing that the one thing they can control is the leadership development of their people, thereby increasing net revenue during economic downturns. By training team members to think about continuous improvement processes and ensuring the development of their people is the top priority, those companies will find themselves on the plus side of the revenue curve.
