    Safety as an Organizational Improvement Strategy

    ByTom Krause August 1, 2016August 19, 2019

    If a client came to us saying, “We know we have some leadership and culture issues: Communication is poor, skill level of supervisors and managers in inconsistent, our people don’t un­derstand system thinking, and behavioral reliability is sketchy. Performance is suffering and we need an organizational improvement strategy. How should we approach it?” Our answer…

    VIDEO: Two Essential Attributes of a Safety Leader

    ByTom Krause July 22, 2016

    The first thing that a safety leader needs in order to be effective in safety is a genuine, heartfelt commitment to their employees. The second thing a safety leader needs is a vision for safety, an ability to clearly describe that vision to others, and a willingness to take action to bring their vision into…

    What Culture Are You Creating?

    ByTom Krause May 27, 2016September 9, 2024

    We’ve never met a leader that didn’t want a better culture for their organization. We hear statements like, “we need to change the safety culture,” every day. What is odd is that the leaders who make these statements usually think they are talking about other people, when in reality they are talking about themselves. We…

    Leadership Creates Culture

    ByTom Krause May 27, 2016September 9, 2024

    Any leader will tell you “leadership creates culture.” Oddly enough, “knowing” in this case doesn’t reach very far. What is required is finding the connection between what I do as a leader and the kinds of cultural attributes I would like to change. Here is an example from my experience: I was the CEO of…

    Safety Leadership: This CEO Had One Core Mission

    ByTom Krause May 19, 2016June 19, 2019

    Paul O’Neill was the CEO of Alcoa from 1987 to 2000. Under his leadership, Alcoa’s market value increased from $3 billion in 1986 to $27.53 billion in 2000, while net income increased from $200 million to $1.48 billion.

    VIDEO: Do you know how to make safe decisions?

    ByTom Krause May 12, 2016

    Most safety leaders and most operations leaders think they know how to assess risk effectively. Ineffective safety decisions happen at the front line employee level, but we leaders know better. This turns out to be false. A growing body of knowledge on cognitive bias shows that human thinking in general tends to be flawed, in…

    How to Undermine the Credibility of Safety Leadership in Your Organization

    ByTom Krause May 4, 2016

    Organizational leaders are always in the process of seeking out and developing talented people who can take on responsibilities and attain objectives. The higher up you get the more important this becomes. If you could just find five people who could do what you can do, or what your top leader is doing, life would…

    Cognitive Bias in Terminal Two

    ByTom Krause April 29, 2016June 20, 2019

    I was on the way home from Houston, after several days of meetings with clients about decision making, cognitive bias and the prevention of serious and fatal injuries. I was in the terminal walking toward the gate. First I saw the kid, wild eyed, head jerking back and forth, looking down toward the gate and…

    These Three Criteria Determine the Value of a Safety Culture Survey

    ByTom Krause April 15, 2016September 9, 2024

    Most leading organizations today use a culture survey of one kind or another. Some are directly related to safety and some indirectly. Often they are given annually. How worthwhile are these instruments and how should they be used? Whether your survey is designed to measure organizational culture in general, safety culture in particular, or both,…

    Safety Culture Across Regions

    ByTom Krause April 1, 2016September 9, 2024

    Global organizations often ask questions like, “Will the things that work in North America also work in Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Europe?” or “Are the principles that inform safety excellence the same across countries and their cultures?” or “Is safety excellence in an underdeveloped country the same as in a developed one?”. These…
