Episode 11: As a leader you need to stand a little taller, be a little kinder with Erin Wild

Leadership Amplified by Dr Karen Morley

To do that you need to know what makes you tick. Great leaders know themselves inside out, according to @Erin Wild. Critically she says, you need to push into the uncomfortable situations, to know what stresses you, to be prepared to experience the discomfort. This helps to challenge your thinking and you learn to trust yourself. And it’s equally important to be able to remain calm, to validate yourself, to be able to flip on your positive self-talk. Feedback is something to welcome. But you also need to be able to filter it - don't rely on it to validate yourself. Erin is an experienced engineer working in Upstream Oil and Gas Operations, with an energy for leadership in Maintenance Operations, Strategic Business Planning and Well Integrity Operations. She’s worked for @Exxon Mobil since graduation. Her roles have included Integrity and Maintenance Supervisor, Planning Manager, Wellwork and Drilling Strategy Manager, Subsurface Engineering Supervisor. She’s worked in Equatorial Guinea, Houston, Malaysia and Australia in onshore and offshore drilling operations.
