Safety Moment - What Leadership Sounds Like...

On September 29, 2017, Lt. General Jay B. Silveria, Administrator of the United States Air Force Acadamy gave the entire organization a chance to improve - he could have punished, he could have sough revenge, he could have responded entirely emotionally - but he chose not to...he chose to respond by improvement.
When something bad happens leaders can either blame and punish or they can learn and improve.
Here is what learning after a serious violation of policy sound like.  Listen carefully - its worth your time.

Special thanks to the workers in Thailand for letting us listen in a bit to what they are doing.
Learning does not seem to respect international boarders - all people learn - and learn people do.

PAPod 47 - Beyond Blame - Dave Zwieback (Greatest Hits Series)

Best Safety Podcast, Safety Program, Safety Storytelling, Investigations, Human Performance, Safety Differently, Operational Excellence, Resilience Engineering, Safety and Resilience Incentives
There is a new book in town.... and it is a good one.   Beyond Blame is a story about how one organization had to move past the old ways of viewing the world and start looking at new ways to learn and improve. 
 
This podcast is a crossover between DevOps, High Reliability Computing, Safety, Human Performance, Operations, and pretty much any other process that is too risky to leave alone and too valuable to fail.  I love the fact that our worlds are colliding and combining.  You will really like this podcast no matter which world you operate within...he says, ending a sentence with a preposition.
 
Dave Zwieback has been working with complex, mission-critical I.T. services and teams for two decades. His career spans small high-tech startups, non-profits, and behemoth engineering, financial services, and pharmaceutical firms.  He is involved in the AWSOME POSTMORTEMS workshops!. Almost everything about Dave is cool.  Listen and find out more.  Thanks for being a part of the podcast.  You make the podcast go!!!

PAPod 140- Two Tragic Stories about Controls, Resilience, and Recovery - The Great Bill Rigot

Best Safety Podcast, Safety Program, Safety Storytelling, Investigations, Human Performance, Safety Differently, Operational Excellence, Resilience Engineering, Safety and Resilience Incentives.
We learn by telling and listening to stories.  Today is a big learning day for all of us.  Friend of the Pod, Bill Rigot, tells to stories of his life that illustrate the power of understanding recovery and controls.  
Listen to this episode a couple times.  This is an intense look and some very serious failures with the intent of not preventing the next event, but in fact controlling the next consequence.  
I think you will learn much from these stories.   
Please tell your peers and your friends - more listeners is more fun.  Subscribe and write a review.  Do it now so you don't forget.
Thanks for listening to the podcast.  You make this a successful community of ideas.  Thanks

A little discussion on the actual cost of makeing improvements and getting better.

Removing goal conflicts, getting rid of stupid procedures, improveing - really costs nothing.

Safety Moment - A Process for Process Improvements

You can have the best ideas in the world, but if you don't have a way to execute on those ideas they really don't matter much.
Much of our improvement failures happen because we have not taken the time to talk about and create a system to use to improve.  Seriously, improvement doesn't happen by magic or accident.  Build a way for improvement to happen - and it will happen.
Thanks for listening.  Tell your friends and subscribe - will ya?  Peace - Todd Out
