Leadership Workshops
Creating a Culture for Safety Excellence
Leadership at any level of an organization-whether in the executive boardroom or among middle managers and safety professionals or in the ranks of front-line supervisors-is most powerful when it is:
- Built from a common understanding of the organization’s safety goals
- Evident in everyday application of knowledge and skills
Tailored to each organization—and to the work groups within each organization-BST Leadership Workshops focus participants on concrete, shared goals and provide them with critical leadership tools and processes. The agenda for each workshop is determined through discussions with the organization’s key leaders, as well as the results of leadership and cultural assessments, if available. Content will likely include:
- Introduction to BST’s Leadership Model and the concept of the fully integrated safety leader.
- Understanding the culture change process and leadership’s role in driving that process to move the organization from where it is now to where it should be.
- Examination of the organization’s assessment results, including analysis, interpretation and implications if the leaders don’t do anything differently.
- Definition of the organization’s safety vision and safety objectives.
- Identification of what the leadership team must do differently to reach the targeted objective. This may include building a Critical Behaviors Inventory® (CBI®) tool set for leadership practices.
- Analysis and planning processes that enable leaders to develop a personal behavioral change plan.
- Development of a coaching plan based on leadership assessment results, if available, including a composite leadership profile for the leadership team to understand its collective strengths and challenges. Participants may also begin the process of identifying individual personal coaching targets.
Leadership Workshops provide participants with a roadmap they can use to guide strategic thinking, as well as everyday leadership planning, around safety. As a result, participants move rapidly forward to create a culture capable of achieving and sustaining excellence in safety performance.
