| Content: | View: PowerPoint Presentation File It is broadly accepted that accidents have their origin in behavioral dynamics; and the relationship between behaviors of front-line operational personnel and the behaviors of their leaders is well understood. A sustained step-change in safety performance will only be achieved through changing the behaviors of personnel operating in the field. Their behaviors will only change if there is a sustained shift in the engagement of organizational leaders in driving safety performance.Success in delivering significant improvements in performance depends on the extent of antipathy in the organization towards the status quo. A real desire for change is critical for the successful deployment of improvement initiatives, but is not sufficient in itself. The right intent, with the wrong approach, consistently leads to disappointing results, frustration for those engaged in driving these initiatives and often cynicism amongst those targeted by the effort. This discussion explores how to create deep collaboration focusing on building capacity to deliver and sustain change within an organization. It presents an approach that recognizes the need for leaders down the line to understand that the arrangements they have established for managing the safety of their people are sub-optimal (where this is the case) and that enhancing the status quo requires them to alter their own approaches. It focuses on engaging front line leaders, takes account of the criticality of their role in directing the behaviors of those who are accountable to them and provides leaders with the motivation and the skills for powerful engagements with their people. |
