What is Leadership? Leadership definition Defined as the capacity to influence and motivate people, by means of personal attributes and behaviours, to achieve a common goal.

Leaders Learn from Mistakes “Never waste a good crisis” If a mistake is made, effective Leaders will use it as an opportunity to learn from, and to continually seek improvement to stop it from happening again.

Leaders Collaborate And Learn from others We need greater collaboration going forward. We are stronger when we work together. We must learn from each others incidents and accidents and share good practice.

Leaders understand people We need to first understand the factors that influence behaviour by listening to people. Collaborative working is easier when you understand individuals’ goals, behaviours and culture. Then we need to encourage behaviours which are aligned to common goals.

Leaders understand & act! Let’s listen to our staff on the frontline - they know what the problems are. Look at what’s going on but remember to also listen more and talk less. Encourage them to be part of the solution. Understand and act on their suggestions. Continually improve, keep asking, looking, listening and involving. One brain Two eyes Two ears One mouth

Leaders walk the talk Safety leadership isn’t just about words. It’s about us being out there regularly with our staff and understanding their tasks and risks.

Leaders don’t do Complacency Dictionary Definition A feeling of quiet pleasure or security, often while unaware of some potential danger; self-satisfaction or smug satisfaction with an existing situation or condition. Complacency should play no part in your leadership or the people you lead.

Leaders are Visible Why we should be there To show commitment. To support our workers. To understand our people and what we ask them to do on a day to day basis. To understand the challenges and risks they encounter. To ensure that things are as they should be and still make sense. To affect change at grassroots, operational and process level.

Leaders Support Frontline Leaders It’s not just about us being Leaders. It’s also about supporting the industry and our staff in relation to the step change for Safe Works Leaders. It’s a big change - and nobody said it would be easy! It may not be perfect from the start – but what we have now isn’t either!

Safety leadership A never ending journey No matter where we measure ourselves on the RM3 model, our Leadership behaviours and actions are key to improving and maintaining where we want to be.
