Leadership and Strategic Planning in the Oil and Gas Industry

Leadership is the ability to influence not only subordinates, but also peers and senior leaders, to achieve a shared objective.

The Leadership and Strategic Planning in the Oil and Gas Industry training course presents a practical model for effective frontline oilfield leadership, built around five core traits—self-awareness, humility, honesty, courage, and persistence—and five essential habits: leading from the front, knowing your people, treating people as they can and should be, communicating clearly, and making timely decisions based on sound input (not in isolation).

With a strong focus on frontline execution—where technical and field teams work together to deliver results—you will learn proven leadership and management techniques to shape the work environment, proactively influence others, and identify, assess, and control operational risks and hazards. The course also emphasizes building a stronger safety culture through behavioural safety coaching and practical tools that support safer performance in high-hazard, critical operations.
