BP Plc Chief Executive Officer Murray Auchincloss said he slept “like a baby” after unveiling the oil major’s turnaround program, confident that he could overcome a lukewarm reception from shareholders.

BP stock fell Wednesday following the much-anticipated strategy update, but recouped those losses on Thursday. Auchincloss will measure the success of his plan “over weeks and months,” he said in an interview.
