The book provides managers and supervisors with the motivation to build relationships and points to the conditions needed for success. It also describes a process to take united action but retain the flexibility to change course as necessary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leaders can shape an organisation through their behaviours and their vision. If an organisation lacks a clear vision or there is disengagement by the leadership team, then the results can be disastrous. In such circumstances change is needed. When change is needed, the value of safety can become a change agent. From the disciplines of leadership and safety comes the emerging topic of safety leadership. Through safety leadership, workplace challenges can be rectified and the desired behaviours reinforced. These challenges can span from a lack of leadership engagement, poor safety performance, complacency or lack of safety ownership. Understanding how safety leadership differs from other leadership theories can give you a competitive edge which is not solely based upon financial quotas, but instead based upon the moral code of ensuring the health and well-being of your employees. This book goes beyond mere safety slogans or anecdotal stories that relate to safety leadership. Instead an empirical and research-based approach will be shared which can help improve the overall culture of an organisation as well as the safety of employees. Tools, case studies, theories and practical applications will be shared which can help create the blueprint for organisational change that you seek.

Download or read book Health and Safety Leadership Strategy written by Rosa Antonia Carrillo and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-31 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to awaken leaders to the unique opportunities now present in the areas typically delegated to Health and Safety. It is a strategy to utilize existing resources to fully develop and engage human potential to catapult business achievement. The confluence of Covid-19, the resulting burnout, the attention on diversity, equity and inclusion generated by the Black Lives Matter movement and the ‘great resignation’ continues to create openings to fundamentally change how we address personal development, sustainable growth and social responsibility. The argument within is that the better we manage the social aspects of the organization, the better our business results. Elucidating to the reader the societal shifts of workplace culture in recent years, this text expertly analyzes the importance of mental health in the workplace, whilst also explaining how management and HR departments can improve. It examines who is responsible for generating psychological safety and provides relationship strategies that will improve performance. The critiques in this text establish why it is imperative for business leaders to concentrate on how their company culture affects their employees, and whether their employees feel safe, seen and supported. The concepts and practices in this book are the ones that leaders have used across the ages to create commitment, accountability and excellence. Managers will benefit from a deeper understanding of how these issues impact every aspect of organizational performance. This book is essential reading for executives, leaders and those interested in leadership. They could be in the C-suite, operations, health and safety and HR. It is also directly relevant to organization development and change management specialists interested in including safety within their practice.

Download or read book The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety written by Timothy R. Clark and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first practical, hands-on guide that shows how leaders can build psychological safety in their organizations, creating an environment where employees feel included, fully engaged, and encouraged to contribute their best efforts and ideas. Fear has a profoundly negative impact on engagement, learning efficacy, productivity, and innovation, but until now there has been a lack of practical information on how to make employees feel safe about speaking up and contributing. Timothy Clark, a social scientist and an organizational consultant, provides a framework to move people through successive stages of psychological safety. The first stage is member safety-the team accepts you and grants you shared identity. Learner safety, the second stage, indicates that you feel safe to ask questions, experiment, and even make mistakes. Next is the third stage of contributor safety, where you feel comfortable participating as an active and full-fledged member of the team. Finally, the fourth stage of challenger safety allows you to take on the status quo without repercussion, reprisal, or the risk of tarnishing your personal standing and reputation. This is a blueprint for how any leader can build positive, supportive, and encouraging cultures in any setting.
