A Project with Management by Rules Looks Like…
• You know something is missing
• Regulators are feared
• Employees cannot describe safety in a personal way
• Training is viewed as an obligation
• “It’s not my job” is the credo
• Discipline is inconsistent and imposed by management
• Employees are unaware of their group’s performance
• Employees believe danger is part of the job
• Employees know they can’t make a difference
A Project with Leadership by Vision Looks Like…
• You see it, realize it and can’t really define it
• Regulators are welcomed
• Employees can tell you what safety is to them
• Training is viewed as an opportunity
• Employees own their work environment
• Discipline is defined and enforced by peers
• Employees are aware of their group’s performance
• No one believes they are safe enough
• Employees know they make a difference
