Leadership is a craft and frameworks are its tools. This book is a toolkit for leaders who are adapting to tomorrow’s energy challenges. Companies no longer view energy as a simple bill. Leading organizations create energy strategies that support long-term goals, leading to higher resource efficiency, lower carbon footprint and improved competitive advantage. Yet energy can seem complex, difficult, or impossible to manage. The frameworks in this book are the culmination of many years of teaching MBA students how to manage energy wisely. In easy-to-follow steps, it explains the basic concepts of each framework followed by examples and scenarios to help the leader adapt them for their own situations. Leaders can quickly understand underlying constraints, tradeoffs, and priorities of the decisions they are being asked to make. The book features techniques and concepts that are applicable across an organization. Part 1 explains fundamental concepts for energy, financial and carbon literacy as well as an overview of system dynamics. Part 2 addresses business approaches for leadership, strategy, process, and communication. This gives leaders a centralized toolkit of analytical, implementation, and strategy tools all in one reference book. These frameworks are ideal for an entrepreneur disrupting an industry or an intrapraneur being a change-agent.
