Sure, you may be sitting in the driver’s seat…but your passengers know that your “autopilot” leadership style is driving them away from long-term success.

So, to prevent the leadership equivalent of “highway hypnosis,” we kick off Season 2 of The Energy Detox by sharing 5 parallels between Driving, Drilling, & Leading that you need to be aware of so that you don’t wind up stuck on the side of the road, in a mile deep hole, or at a hopeless organization.

And by the end of this episode, you should be asking these questions of yourself:

1) Is my over-reliance on outside resources causing me to take my hands off the wheel?

2) Am I over-investing in one fuel type and ignoring the many benefits of hybrid options?

3) How is my relentless focus on future goals (generally a good thing) causing me to ignore historical information that WOULD be staring right at me if I’d just remember to glance at my mirrors once in a while?

4) Am I ignoring lights and alarms telling me when I need to check my pressure while I unwittingly drive along with a slow leak?

5) While my company (and the energy industry as a whole) drive ahead at 100MPH, do I at least remember to slow down BEFORE heading into a turn so that I don't lose control?
