Cleantechers -
We have had guests on Scaling Clean with a lot of different backgrounds, but I think my most recent guest is the first who combines journalism, corporate communications, legal, renewable energy development, and an operations background on her rise to be the CEO of Indianapolis-based Geneex Solar. If we've ever had a Renaissance CEO on the show, Emily Williams is it.
Here are her B3P's:
14:37: An effective CEO's success depends on the team they build and trust. Their role is to set clear leadership principles, define a vision, align people, and outline success while empowering the team to execute.
16:25 - To avoid underleading someone, have regular one-on-ones with them and ask what their top priorities are. It’s a simple but powerful way to ensure you are aligned without micromanaging. Catching misdirection early will keep everyone focused on what matters most.
19:57 - Hiring for grit and resilience beats hiring for resumes. Look for people who can build trust, bounce back from hard conversations, and thrive in people-driven work.
Thanks for coming on the show, Emily.
