Former BP CEO Bernard Looney’s mother’s advice

Kenmare native Bernard Looney resigned as CEO of BP earlier this week. Below is the Guardian story. He spent his working life with BP, joining the company as a young engineer.

His earnings last year from BP were approximately €10 million.

He was a new style CEO, was also a much sought after motivational speaker.

On one occasion he told his listeners something his mother told him when he was a child.

He said he has never forgotten it. She told him that we were given two ears and one mouth and we should use them proportionally.

Good advice.
