Three Leadership Initiatives

摘要

The first initiative developed by the leadership subteam was to increase the number of individual grassroots safety champions. It was pursued through mentoring and peer-to-peer coaching. Sueess was realized when the first group ol chairpersons rotated.rnThe second leadership initiative was to develop the safety culture leadership quotient of middle management. It was aimed at addressing a significant change brought about by the adoption of the new safety and health system in 1997, namely that whereas the old safety system was superyisor-led, the new system was employee-led. Many supervisors, w ho traditionally handled the safety programs, were out of sorts in dealing with a supportive role in safetyrnrather than a leadership role. The second initiative provided sequential workshops that helped supervisors develop a better understanding of their new role through developing the safety culture leadership skills ot middle management. The result was their greater engagement in the safety process.
