Perhaps there is no leadership responsibility more profound than creating a sustainable, injury-free workplace. Every person who goes to work expects to return home in the same condition. When someone is hurt, the adverse effects of their injury ripple through the employee's family and friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAchieving an injury-free environment is one of the most difficult problems many leaders face. Indeed, during 35 years in manufacturing I never discovered a singular solution to this challenge. However, over these years I observed quite a few leadership actions that significantly contributed to less risk-taking, greater hazard awareness and genuine collaborative efforts among employees and supervisors. Leaders who understood, embraced, and implemented these strategies saw a dramatic reduction in incidents and injuries at their facilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOrganizations with the best safety performances do not have a secret.\u003c\/em\u003e They simply do a lot of small things collectively and strategically well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat's really what this book is about.

I share personal experiences of highly effective leadership. And I recount other situations that exemplify the wrong approach.
