What’s one piece of advice for navigating leadership, accountability, and complexity?

AWE Association of Women in Energy • 0 views • August 24, 2026

About this video

Accountable leadership isn’t limited to the person in charge. In this AWE Energy Exchange highlight, Amanda and Vanessa discuss why accountability is everyone’s responsibility and how each person can influence outcomes through their commitments, actions, and how they show up for their team. Vanessa also shares how accountability can extend beyond your own role, including using accountability conversations to “manage up” even when you aren’t the project leader. We host the AWE Energy Exchange every 3rd Tuesday of the month.
