Sue McCarrey, CEO of the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Authority (NOPSEMA), provides the attributes she looks for, particularly in the leadership part of the organisation. These include the ability to be able to critically analyse issues that can be complex and good communication skills. Sue also distinguishes that being a good communicator isn’t just about being a good talker, it’s also about having the ability to listen, understand the world and context that they are working in, being respectful to others, and providing a safety net for their team so that they feel they are able to put ideas forward.
