Dynamic leadership makes the difference in safe, world-class performance

JMJ’s Mike Goddu, Co-Founder and Managing Director, and Paul O’Keeffe, Senior Consultant, led a discussion about dynamic leadership and culture in a webinar hosted by the Australian Institute of Health and Safety (AIHS).

What creates a high-performance safety culture?

Despite progress in worldwide safety performance, significant incidents persist. Since COVID, a number of industries are suffering fatal incidents. Many of these organizations are ‘resource constrained’ and have been doing only what is necessary or required in terms of creating a safety culture. World-class organizations are relentless in improving even in challenging times, this includes safety and their ability to respond to incidents. Mike believes the common denominator across these leading organizations is a high-performance safety culture, and dynamic, courageous leadership.

What is dynamic leadership?

Mike draws on learnings from both the sporting world and industry to ignite discussions around:

• The difference between managing safety and leading safety
• The visible and invisible factors that contribute to incidents
• Best practices for dynamic leadership
• The hallmarks of a ‘learning’ organization

In closing, he asks, ‘In the face of dynamic operating conditions, are you ready to respond?”

Mike explored safety leadership and safety management in a recent blog where he asked, “Is safety over-managed and under-led?”
