Preview LEAD Safety-A Practical Handbook for Frontline Supervisors and Safety Practitioners
LEAD Safety Safety leadership has been riding the waves of general leadership theories since the end of the last century. While this is not surprising – leadership is leadership, right? – it also means research has been running into the same issues as general leadership research. Because what is a good leader, or what makes a good leader? Scholars have looked at ‘great men’ and successful men. They have studied traits of important leaders, their attitudes, ethics, morality. As hard as these things are to study, they are equally hard to com- municate, or to train. So what about leadership behaviours? What do safety leaders practically do? In this book you will find answers to these questions. It basically boils down to: safety leaders LEAD. What this means or entails, you will read in this book. The writers will lead you through LEAD with examples, exercises and theory. Leading has never been simpler. — Frank Guldenmund, Delft, the Netherlands LEAD Safety A Practical Handbook for Frontline Supervisors and Safety Practitioners Tristan William Casey Mark Anthony Griffin First edition published 2020 by CRC Press 6000 Broken Sound Parkway NW, Suite 300, Boca Raton, FL 33487-2742 and by CRC Press 2 Park Square, Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon, OX14 4RN © 2021 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC CRC Press is an imprint of Taylor & Francis Group, LLC Reasonable efforts have been made to publish reliable data and information, but the author and pub- lisher cannot assume responsibility for the validity of all materials or the consequences of their use.
