Bob Keiller: Right Now – Continue to Exceed Your Customers’ Expectations

Bob Keiller sends a message on Core Values to Wood Group employees every week. The note below is taken from a message he sent to employees a few weeks ago. Remember the '80s US rock band Van Halen? Ever heard of a clause buried deep in their lengthy touring contract? It stated something like “there should be no brown M&Ms backstage…if found, the band has the right to cancel the concert at full pay without warning.”

Bob Keiller: The B Side of the playlist on career advice

I’ve received many questions following recent articles on how to manage during difficult times. Readers are asking what specific things they could do, or I have done, or we are planning to turn the generic advice into practical measures. Well, I suppose it all depends.

Bob Keiller: Why I Give (and Get) the Best Career Advice from a Playlist

Many of us are old enough to remember buying vinyl albums. After you bought a new one, you would study every detail of the cover, and, then, you would play it repeatedly until you knew every track. Not only that, you knew the order of the tracks. I find good music inspirational. Some of you will already know that I write a weekly message on Core Values to my employees, and I always use a musical reference as a hook. So today, I want to share my playlist for leading in difficult times.

Keiller spells it out – share the pain to secure North Sea future

The oil price slump grinds on and the North Sea remains in crisis, but Wood Group’s chief executive Bob Keiller is clear that people, the UK offshore industry’s primary resource, must still be valued. During last month’s UK Oil & Gas roadshow ahead of the budget, Keiller made it clear that talk about “we’re going to have to get rid of a few people” was unacceptable. “Unless you’re in the Mafia you don’t get rid of people,” he warned an Aberdeen audience. “You may take away their jobs, you may take away their self-esteem, their dignity, their reason for getting up in the morning; there will still be a person there; there will still be a family behind them. “The impact of job losses shouldn’t be underestimated.”
