As a sector marked by extended downturn moves into a positive future, energy executives are reflecting on their own approaches to leadership and how they will factor into lasting company success. At Egon Zehnder’s seventh annual CEO Breakfast Panel at IHS CERAWeek 2018, leaders gathered to discuss these critical human capital issues within the sector. This year, the conversation shifted from one dictated by market pessimism of years past to one of proactive leadership imperatives that will enable today’s leaders to think differently while preparing tomorrow’s to take the market into the next phase.

At Egon Zehnder’s 2018 CEO Breakfast, Global Energy Practice Leader, Carol SingletonSlade, moderated discussions about leadership and talent in the energy sector alongside this year’s distinguished panelists:

• Joe Kaeser, President and CEO, Siemens AG

• Charlie Leykum, Founder and Managing partner, CSL Capital Management
