Grey Matter: Inside the Minds of the People Who Move the World
Mike Wirth: Chairman & CEO
Pragmatism Above All
For more than four decades, Mike Wirth has built his career at Chevron, rising through an organization where major decisions are expected to stand up over long periods and where leadership judgment is assessed through enduring outcomes rather than immediacy.
When he became Chairman and CEO, the company was operating in an environment that placed a growing emphasis on capital discipline and on the durability of long-dated investment decisions. That context sharpened the importance of pragmatic judgment around expansion, particularly in moments when outside pressure made it easier to pursue scale than to step back.
In this episode of Grey Matter, Wirth sits down with Consello Founder, Chairman and CEO Declan Kelly to discuss institutional endurance and the role pragmatic discipline plays in long-cycle decision-making.
