Why Good Leaders Rehearse Their Response to Operational Failure
This weeks episode of PreAccident Podcast is a discussion for leaders - leaders who are best suited to run complex operations in a complicated and production filled world.
We rehearse important moments. We practice weddings, speeches, presentations, and most anything else that involves our performance of a task in front of an important group of people. Accident response is no different. Knowing how you are going to respond as a leadership team when something unexpected happens simple makes sense. Being ready to respond before your organization, a group of very important people, makes the actual process of responding when something does happen better and more effective.
How are we going to respond as a management team when something bad happens? Knowing this information BEFORE an event transpires is an important leadership strategy.
Take a moment and listen to this episode of the POD. Even if you have never listened before, this one technique will be worthwhile if you need it. Let's hope you don't. But, if you do... you will be glad you took this advice.
Thanks for listening to the MOST LISTENED TO SAFETY PODCAST IN THE WORLD. You will join thousands of people who have created a community of practice around safety differently.

6 年Great discussion point for emergency preparedness planning. An emergency takes you off your black line, so in response, you have to set a new black line. Planning and practicing before setting this emergent black line will give you some muscle memory and competency to respond.
