Group Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of GOIL PLC, Edward Bawa, says his transition into the leadership of the oil marketing company has been smoother than he initially expected.
GOIL PLC's Group Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Edward Bawa, has stated that his leadership transition at the oil marketing company has been smoother than he anticipated. In an interview with Joy News' PM Express Business Edition, Mr. Bawa reflected on his first year at the helm of the company. He expressed initial surprise at the smoothness of the transition, attributing it to the supportive environment and the dedication of GOIL's staff.
Bawa mentioned that he joined GOIL with an open mind, having no prior experience leading an oil marketing company. His lack of prior attention to the company's operations while serving as a Member of Parliament also contributed to his initial mixed feelings. However, once he began his role, the supportive atmosphere and effective onboarding process significantly eased the transition.
The CEO highlighted the utility of the department heads' onboarding process, which made the industry feel familiar to him. Bawa concluded that the smooth transition was a result of a combination of factors, including the support from the company's human capital and the clear policies guiding its operations. He emphasized that the interplay of these elements provided employees with the necessary clarity and guidance to achieve the organization's objectives.
