4 Key Challenges 1. Sufficient awareness of risk • Keep the bear real (bear or rabbit?) • Mindfulness (antidote to complacency) • Does it take a Charlie Morecraft experience? • Young workers • If not sufficient mindfulness, no need to follow polices and procedures • What are we doing to reinforce the proper amount of fear?
4 Key Challenges 2. Paper safety VS real safety • Disconnect for many at worker level • 2 stories from the basin – is it about the paper or about safe action/going home • Culture is, in part, a function of what leaders pay attention to, measure and control on a regular basis (Ed Schein) • Reinforced by management – Florida plant manager • Airline pilot “checklist” – a different culture
4 Key Challenges 3. Relationship with Policies and Procedures = weak in this industry • A function of mindfulness?? • Cultural strengths = safety disadvantage • Independence • Get the job done • Jim Weatherbee: only 2 problems with p/p • A different culture and relationship to p/p in military and aviation
4 Key Challenges 4. Bottoms-Up Leadership • Story • Investment at BP San Juan in Safety Excellence Team • Contributed to 50% decline in TRIR in 09 • Monthly meetings/individual coaching • Related to as leaders • Given tools • Requested to act • Held to account
What is Needed Now From Us As Leaders? More engagement and less preaching Engagement = a function of conversation Conversation = speaking and listening Get yourself a compelling question and go on a Listening Tour
Summary 4 Key Challenges 1. Sufficient awareness of risk (Is the bear real?) 2. Paper safety VS real safety 3. Relationship with Policies and Procedures = weak in this industry 4. Bottoms-Up Leadership What is needed: more engagement and less preaching 4. Bottoms-Up Leadership
What Could I Do? • Ask myself – do I have the proper amount of fear or wariness? • Have a conversation with a person who I think does not have the proper amount of fear vis a vis safety? Ask (inquire) why? • Notice which Key Procedures are related to as “paper safety”. Engage the workforce in a conversation about why workers feel this way.
What Could I Do? • Identify what I am paying attention to with regard to safety. Is it the “paper” or the real thing? • Think about Bottoms Up Leadership and how you could institute in your organization.
