Key Leadership Competencies of Safety Leaders

摘要

You might know the adage, "Ask 20 people and you will get more than 100 opinions." So, how can you possibly determine the key leadership competencies of safety leaders? Perhaps you know that researchers in organizational development and psychology describe two types of research: 1) qualitative results (interviews, case studies, observations); and 2) quantitative results (surveys, questionnaires, assessments). So I did both for this article. Let's start with some definitions, move to qualitative results, then discuss quantitative results. Then try applying these results to yourself and your team. Use a simple score card, or write notes in the margins.
