Chapter 1The Leadership Challenge

No matter where in the world they work, or what kind of business they're in, leaders in operations face the same fundamental set of tough safety challenges. Whether it's getting everyone to follow all the rules all the time, avoiding complacency, getting people to report near‐misses, or finding the time to actually manage safety performance, these challenges are brutally tough—in large part because they're relentless—and timeless.

The good news is the most successful leaders have figured out how to successfully deal with them, and doing that is largely a matter of practice…leadership practice.

Preparation Questions

  1. How does the list of “tough safety challenges” on page 4 match up with those you face as a leader in seeing to it that everyone goes home alive and well at the end of the day?
  2. What are the factors that make these challenges tough for leaders in operations?
  3. What are the specific challenges you are looking for help with?
  4. How will you be able to determine how successful you are in dealing with these challenges?

You will find the Debrief Questions in the final chapter of the Study Guide.
