This little podcast comes from backstage at ASSP.  We were having a little lunch and Scott Geller was holding a conversation about life, safety, and the afternoon ahead.  I decided that It would be fun to record this so you could be a part of the what was happening.

See what you think about this episode and the episode that is featured within this episode?  That is a lot of episodes to type in one sentance - probably a personal record.

1.  People Make Mistakes

2.  Blame Fixes Nothing

3.  Context Drives Behavior

A just culture is a culture of trust, learning and accountability. In the wake of an incident, a restorative just culture asks: ‘who are hurt, what do they need, and whose obligation is it to meet that need?’ It doesn’t dwell on questions of rules and violations and consequences. Instead, it gathers those affected by an incident and collaborates on collectively addressing the harms and needs created by it, in a way that is respectful to all parties. It holds people accountable by looking forward to what must be done to repair, to heal and to prevent.

You know when you go to a director's screening of a movie that the director comes out on stage after the audience has seen the film...I don't know if you have ever been invited to one of those fancy showings - I can't remember ever getting an invitation to one...that is what this episode is like...you chance to talk to the producer of a docemantary about safety and just culture.

This film documents the amazing transformation in one organization — Mersey Care, an NHS mental health trust in the UK. Only a few years ago, blame was common and trust was scarce. Dismissals were frequent: caregivers were suspended without a clear idea of what they might have done wrong. Mersey Care’s journey toward a just and learning culture has repaired and reinvigorated relationships between staff, leaders and service users. It has enhanced people’s engagement, joint ownership and sense of responsibility. It has taken the organization to a place where hurt doesn’t get met with more hurt, but with healing.

This episode of the Pod kind of freaked me out.  You ever see something that makes a ton of sense and yet you have never thought of before?  

That is what happened to me.

I met Jeremy Cesena the other day at PG&E - he is a friend of the pod and a big thinker...and a great guy.   He decided that he could use the blue line and black line cartoon as a way to code events - like a timeline for understanding and learning from an event.  

It is way cool.

You are about to meet somebody I have been following for a good long while.  I find Jeff very interesting.  He is smart.  He is funny.  He is irreverant.  He is funny and clever.

He is also very much not afraid to speak truth to power.  

That is what makes this episode so interesting and fun.
