"A great book for leaders throughout the organization who are wrestling with what they need to be doing to 'lead with safety' . . . a safety leadership model, which if followed, will not only lead to improved safety performance, but improved organizational climate and better business results." "An excellent reference tool and guide to improving safety leadership. It will be a continuing help to me in my own efforts. Get each page laminated--you will wear it out otherwise!" "A must for those who aspire to lead change in a meaningful way. This book is a powerful blend of leadership theory and philosophy combined with the 'how to' often missing in management literature." "A well-organized roadmap to the BST leadership process." "Leading with Safety is a treasure chest of concepts, tools, and processes that will dramatically help organizations with their safety initiatives." "I'm convinced Tom Krause cares about people and their safety. His support for effective methods, systems, and safety processes extends beyond simple business concerns. He truly cares." "Of the many innovations in this book, one that will be of particular interest to safety generalists is the recognition given to the primary importance of the Working Interface, described as the configuration of equipment, facilities, systems, and behaviors that define the interaction of the worker with the technology." "[Leading with Safety] could be as many as three separate books addressing the various aspects of leadership responsibility for not only the safety of an organization, but also its safe achievement of lofty goals." "Engaging and representative of our experience with BST facilitators as well as our own employees." "[A] significant contribution . . . shows that safety performance improvement is a multilayered, comprehensive, integrated, time-consuming undertaking . . . that can't be repeated enough in safety circles--and in executive suites." |

| Publisher Description: Building on years of research and experience in the field, Leading with Safety redefines organizational safety as an activity that both leads other performance areas and in turn must be led. Thomas Krause poses the question, What does it take to be a great safety leader? -- and answers with a comprehensive new model for understanding safety leadership as it affects organizational culture and safety climate. Leading with Safety defines the practices, tools, and systems essential to creating an injury-free workplace, including the role of employees at each level, special considerations for coaching the senior executive leader, and the two crucial aspects of human performance that every leader needs to know. Ending with inspiring real-world examples or organizations that have put these tools into practice, Leading with Safety is written for any leader who wants to lead with safety toward a more robust, productive and effective organization. |
