The All-Inclusive Utility Leader - A Business Like No Other

Leadership is art; art is understood and appreciated by the few. To mitigate climate change and protect our beloved planet, utilities are burdened with transforming various energy systems into 100% clean and renewable systems in a reliable, resilient, and cyber-resilient manner. Customers are entering a transformation phase where reliable power and cheap bills no longer suffice; consumers are the new prosumers. This book will illustrate numerous challenges that utility leaders must face and plan for, including, but not limited to, rising electric rates, Mother Nature strikes (floods, snow, wind, volcanos, earthquake, wildfires, etc.), blackouts, emissions reduction/elimination targets, aggressive renewable goals (solar, storage, and wind), accidents/failures, retirements, unhappy boards, dissatisfied customers, injuries/deaths, cyber-attacks, retaining talents, natural gas leaks, rate-case gone wrong, non-engineered political agendas, etc. The book will focus on building the extraordinary all-inclusive leader and show how unique utility leaders are compared to other fields by exploring current and future complex challenges, providing insights to mitigate them, and enabling the reader to identify different challenges and propose innovative solutions.
