[Rell Jette]

Whatis the single most important factor that distinguishes the great leaders from the rest? Which personal quality is most likely to inspire confidence in customers, respect among colleagues, and loyalty from employees? Which aspect of your leadership style should you focus on to put your performance, your career, and your life on the fast track to success?

In Energy Leadership, renowned coach Bruce D Schneider shows you why the way you use your energy will determine whether or not your organization thrives. He helps you become more aware of your personal power, both in the workplace and in the world at large. And, he shows you how to become a powerful leader, one who motivates others to reach their true potential.

Following the Energy Leadership program, you'll learn how to recognize the seven distinct levels of energy that are the key to understanding why everyone thinks and acts the way they do. You'll learn how to distinguish truly effective leaders from those who deplete the energy of the people around them and specific techniques you can use to shift the energy levels of the people around you to inspire peak performance.

You'll also become familiar with the Big Four Energy Blocks, learn how to recognize them in yourself and others, and discover proven tools and strategies for overcoming these and other obstacles to success.

If you always try to inspire others but sometimes feel like something's missing, something is. Energy Leadership puts you in touch with the missing link between your ambitions and your ability to achieve them.

Through a range of programs, activities and investments, we strive to create and maintain a diverse workforce representative of the numerous geographies where we do business. Our Global Diversity Framework is the foundation for this approach, with three interrelated objectives:

Diversity and inclusion of thought, skill, knowledge and culture make ExxonMobil more competitive, more resilient and better able to navigate the complex and constantly changing global energy business. Diversity strengthens us by promoting unique viewpoints and challenging each of us, every day, to think beyond our traditional frames of reference. We are committed to building a talented and diverse workforce, and to creating an environment in which every employee has the opportunity to excel based on his or her performance. These are the core principles upon which we have operated for many years.

Our diversity and inclusion efforts are comprehensive. They range from attracting and developing a premier global workforce within a work environment that values unique perspectives, encourages individual growth and treats all employees with respect, to educational partnerships and community development initiatives designed to improve the quality of life where we live and work.

Our global workforce reflects the local communities and cultures in which we operate. Our objectives are to seek out and hire talented, dedicated employees and to give them the opportunity to learn, grow and succeed. The result is a diverse and multifaceted employee base of talented individuals, who have different perspectives and ideas born of their distinct backgrounds.

Our diversity and inclusion record is one of which employees and shareholders can be proud, and we pledge to continue building a workforce that will ensure we remain a global company in every sense of the word.

We search the globe for talented men and women from diverse backgrounds, and we encourage them to think independently, take initiative and be innovative. With our focus on hiring local employees, we have a positive impact on the economies in the emerging and developing markets in which we operate.

To help unlock the full potential of young minds, we support a wide range of education programs around the world. Over the past 14 years, we have contributed $973 million for education programs globally. These help our business over the long run by expanding the talent pool of scientists and engineers, some of whom will join us in the energy business.

Scientists and engineers are critical for addressing the challenges of the 21st century. We invest in a range of programs that focus on inspiring and preparing students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. This includes programs like the National Math and Science Initiative, that foster increased access to college-level coursework for all students and ensure teachers have deep content knowledge in math and science.

Our benefits programs are an integral part of a total remuneration package designed to support our long-term business objectives, as well as attract, retain and reward the most qualified employees. The goal is to be responsive to the needs of employees throughout their careers and into their retirements.

Ensuring access to affordable health care helps employees manage health care issues and reduce related financial concerns, assisting them in being productive and focused on their personal and professional responsibilities. Benefits coverage for spouses is based on legally recognized spousal relationships in each country where we operate.

The funding levels of qualified pension plans comply with applicable laws or regulations. Defined benefit pension obligations are fully supported by the financial strength of ExxonMobil or the respective sponsoring affiliate. The company provides retirement benefits that support our long-term career orientation and business models.

Our workplace flexibility programs improve business and operational results by increasing employee engagement and facilitating retention. We offer a wide variety of flexible work arrangements, which may be customized and used individually or in combination to meet individual needs and preferences. Examples include remote work, modified work schedules, and part-time employment. Programs vary by country, based on culture, infrastructure, and legal frameworks.

We support local employee networks globally to foster an environment committed to diversity and inclusion. These voluntary, employee-led groups offer networking, professional development programs, community service, and proactively mentor and assimilate new employees.

Our mission is to facilitate personal growth and professional advancement of employees of Asian origin, and raise awareness of Asian cultures to enhance effectiveness when working with employees of Asian origin or with business partners in Asia.

Our mission is to serve as a support organization that provides mentoring, coaching, and networking opportunities to enhance the personal and professional development of black employees and further the business objectives of ExxonMobil.

Our mission is to support gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender employees and our allies, and to encourage awareness and understanding of diversity and inclusion issues around sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression in the workplace.

Our mission is to serve as a support organization that provides mentoring, coaching, and networking opportunities to enhance the personal and professional development of employees with prior military service or who are currently serving in the military.

We develop future leaders from within the company worldwide, drawing upon our diverse employee population. Employees from all over the world are developed for operational and leadership roles, both in their home countries and globally.

Our business activities require leaders who can effectively collaborate and work in a complex global environment. A deliberate and focused effort across our company ensures that our future leaders are identified early, tested in challenging work assignments with increasing levels of responsibilities, and educated through a comprehensive and effective leadership development program.

For more than 140 years, ExxonMobil has been a leader in innovation, committed to improving quality of life by meeting the critical needs of society. We continually work to meet the changing needs of our customers and stakeholders which has been key to creating long-term shareholder value and critical to our continued success.

The IMD International Alumni Association is the official home to a global network of extraordinary leaders who share ideas and shape the future for a more sustainable, prosperous, and inclusive world.

At an IMD Discovery Event, more than 200 industry leaders gathered to hear Professor Kohlrieser speak about resilience in high-performing leadership. Every manager experiences stress and adversity, but must be able to bounce back in order to meet new challenges. Professor Kohlrieser highlighted the importance of adopting the right mindset and coping mechanisms in order to restore leaders to their full potential and energy.

Resilience is the human capacity to meet adversity, setbacks and trauma, and then recover from them in order to live life fully. Resilient leaders have the ability to sustain their energy level under pressure, to cope with disruptive changes and adapt. They bounce back from setbacks.They also overcome major difficulties without engaging in dysfunctional behavior or harming others.

The importance of resilience was brought into sharp relief here in Switzerland when two high- profile executive scommitted suicide over the summer of 2013. Both the CEO of Swisscom and the CFO of Zrich Insurance ended their days, partly as a result of toxic professional situations and working relationships.These men left behind families and children.

The importance of caring for others is frequently underestimated compared to other leadership traits. In truth, even top managers often fail because they are disconnected. They close their hearts, which leads to low trust in their working relationships and low engagement in the organizations they manage.Gallup studies show that employee disengagement is widespread in Europe and especially America. For individuals who do feel highly engaged at work, the same studies show that trust-based relationships play a central role.
