Talking with Tech Leaders
Talking with... Bob Keiller, Master of Storytelling, Values and Entrepreneurship
He says it himself – Bob Keiller doesn’t quite qualify for the ‘tech’ part of ‘Talking with Tech Leaders’. So it’s perhaps worth renaming this episode Talking with Values Leaders, or Talking with Storytelling Leaders. Whatever we’re calling it, it’s well worth listening to.
He chats through his career with host Michael Phair, charting his journey from Heriot Watt University, through a series of roles in the oil & gas sector. Bob describes how he led a $280millon MBO of the Halliburton division he managed, then sold it to Wood Group, becoming their CEO – responsible for more than 50,000 employees, before taking on chairmanship of Scottish Enterprise, Entrepreneurial Scotland and various trade bodies.
Through it all, there’s a golden thread around communications and culture. There’s nobody who better understands the importance of strong values and engaging storytelling as incredibly powerful leadership tools.
Plug in, sit back and enjoy.
