Management and Feedback of an Energy Company in Crisis; Test - Algorithm for an Energy Company

The present article is devoted to the current issues of crisis management in the energy sector and presents a comprehensive approach to increasing organizational effectiveness. The work includes two interrelated parts: the first discusses the strategic and operational aspects of crisis management, and the second presents the PAEI test-algorithm for assessing managerial competencies.

The article describes in detail the "protection" and "recovery" mechanisms of the energy company, which include: ensuring employee safety, stress testing of financial sustainability, revenue protection strategies and liquidity management. Special emphasis is placed on the importance of short-term (3-6-18 months) planning and the necessity of scenario analysis taking into account the basic, negative and positive development options.

The second part of the article presents a practical implementation of the PAEI methodology for energy companies. The test algorithm allows identifying four main managerial roles: P (productivity), A (administration), E (entrepreneurship) and I (integration). Based on a 36-question questionnaire that assesses the distribution of responsibilities, problem-solving approaches and leadership styles, the employee’s managerial profile is determined according to seven categories (from pooo to PAEI).

The article also discusses the importance of balancing introverted (P and A) and extroverted (E and I) approaches in an organizational context. The author emphasizes that a crisis is not only a threat, but also an opportunity - to identify new points of transformation and growth.

The paper aims to offer practical tools for the management of energy companies that will help both effectively respond to crisis situations and form long-term competitive advantages. The article is intended for managers of energy companies, HR specialists, business consultants and all those interested in organizational development and crisis management.
