I had the opportunity to present to the ETC LT recently, and they invited me to stay for the rest of their meeting and have lunch with them. I have to say, I have never seen a more self-absorbed, out of touch "leadership team" in my life. They were oblivious to survival in the sub-$50 world and were more focused on diversity metrics and the lunch menu. So sad.

It is not ETCs job to lead. They are to focus on technology and to follow trends from leaders in this area. It is ok if they are geeks with minimal business acumen.
Problem is that Chevron has few true leaders. What it has instead are process managers and "leaders working through others". Leadership skills are not developed by Chevron.
Oh, Bill, really? Didn't you learn from Moon Township?
Having a company where less than 5% of the leadership teams do the real leading and decision making is one that's destined for failure. Chevron is still operating lucky in spite of itself. If it weren't in the O&G business, it would have failed long ago. Leadership anywhere states at the top. JW must be fired and replaced with a Rex Tillerson kind of leader who will then clean house across the board, dump all this PC diversity BS and get down to brass tacks. Produce or get out.
Tma, you qualify for a position on any leadership team.
I just fall asleep nobody cares
In my experience less than 5% of Chevron leadership teams do any leading or decision making in meetings. I have been in zillions of them and they are mostly nonsense slides and non-sequiter comments. The majority of the leaders have nothing to say or contribute and can't wait for the meeting to end. A typical one is just an around the table horseshit update. Chevroids don't want any issues or tension in meetings, thus nothing meaningful ever occurs.
Yep, and you sure haven't sat through one of CM's UC LT's - they go on forever with WZ staring at the HR Managers chest the whole time.
Lol...clearly you haven't met the DWEP LT yet otherwise you wouldn't complain about ETC LT!
