Do your leaders have the skills required to lead a high performance safety culture? What behaviours differentiate high performing companies from low performing? We recently completed a global study of 15,000 people who participated in our Safety Leadership ScorecardTM since 2003. We compared the top 10% and bottom 10% and here’s what we discovered about what the best performing leaders consistently do:
- Practice what they preach
- Treat people fairly
- Will admit when they make a mistake
- Always puts safety before production when the two are in conflict
- Will spend time with me to help me do my job safely
