Leading People to Use Their Brain as Personal Protective Equipment (Room 26 AB)

19 Sep 22
2:30 PM - 3:30 PM

Tracks: Management Leadership

Leaders invest heavily to eliminate hazards, improve the system and make safety more conscious. Although we use these approaches more than ever and are doing it better, workplace fatalities in the United States have increased by 15% since 2013. What are we missing? Knowing what to do is one thing. Getting people to do it when it counts is quite another. These days we need adaptive leaders who use a “whole-of-brain” perspective within a three-step process: know the way, show the way and go the way. In this session, you’ll learn about the positive impact of modern-day whole-of-brain behavioral programs on safety performance and psychological safety.
