  "account": "Edward Bawa's seamless transition as the new leader of GOIL has been facilitated by more than just the support of his staff, according to the Group CEO and Managing Director. In a recent interview with Joy News' PM Express Business Edition, Bawa highlighted the importance of GOIL's strong human capital, established structures, and internal policies in making the shift smoother than he anticipated. Despite having no prior experience leading an oil marketing company, Bawa arrived at GOIL with an open mind and found the initial onboarding process, led by his department heads, to be extremely beneficial. He praised the staff for their readiness to support him and expressed that the transition felt familiar, almost as if he had already operated in the industry for a long time. While acknowledging the crucial role of people in the company's success, Bawa emphasized that structures and policies are equally important. He stressed that clear policies help employees understand expectations and available systems, while consistency in the combination of people, structures, and guiding principles is vital for the effective running of the company. Bawa rejected the notion that GOIL's prosperity can be attributed solely to its human resources, asserting that the synergy between people, structures, and principles is key to the company's overall success.",
