“The days of the Superhero are gone. These are the days of the Justice League.” Joseph Elkhoury is an industry Advisor for Upstream Oilfield Services and Digitalization in Oil and Gas . He served as Chief Operating Officer of TETRA Technologies, Inc. (TTI) from 2014 until 2017 where he managed around 5,000 employees and over $1.2B in revenue with several divisions offering products and services in many domestic and international markets. Joseph also served as a member of the Board of Directors of CSI-Compressco (CCLP) from 2015 until 2017. But it was during his tenure at TETRA Tech that Joseph envisioned, designed and rolled out “Dedicated To The Core” where employees were rated on 16 essential behaviours that directly contributed to the company’s core mission.

Plus, a lack of perspective evolves when decisions are centralized, and the magic of diverse thought and innovative ideas is lost. People working for Controlling Bosses have options: |
