E417 – Current & Critical – Chad Hayden, Frontline Futures: Navigating Change in Alberta's Energy & Logistics Maze
“Building a business is much like climbing a mountain, not for the faint of heart. But when you get to the top, you get this super rewarding view, and it’s just such an incredible feeling.”
Chad is on a mission to transform commodity businesses - and to do that, he’s had to blend cultural changes with technological advancements. But doing something new takes being a new kind of leader, so Chad highlights the value of being coachable and having a diverse support system because he knows that empathy and deep connections can make a business thrive. Chad also highlights the resilience of Alberta energy businesses in the face of restrictive, complex environmental and regulatory governance — and how other jurisdictions look to how our companies manage such strictness when they come up against similar models.
