Chapter 22Making a Difference

Taken together, the first 21 chapters in the book provide practical answers to the four questions every leader faces:

  1. What is leadership?
  2. When do I lead?
  3. How do I lead?
  4. Why must safety always come first?

Armed with the answers, it falls to the leader to make a decision: what am I going to do about all those tough safety challenges I face every day as a leader?

When it comes to sending people home safe, leadership is the difference that makes the difference. There's no getting around that fundamental truth. Getting “common men to do uncommon things”—as Peter Drucker put it—is the stuff of great leadership.

Final Questions

  1. What have you learned about managing safety performance from reading and discussing Alive and Well at the End of the Day?
  2. What tools and concepts have you put into play that have helped lead the members of your crew to work more safely. What have you learned from applying these tools?
  3. What will you do next to make a difference in the most important goal every business has…sending everyone home, alive and well, every day?
