Leaders can shape an organisation through their behaviours and
their vision. If an organisation lacks a clear vision or there is
disengagement by the leadership team, then the results can be
disastrous. In such circumstances change is needed. When change is
needed, the value of safety can become a change agent. From the
disciplines of leadership and safety comes the emerging topic of
safety leadership. Through safety leadership, workplace challenges
can be rectified and the desired behaviours reinforced. These
challenges can span from a lack of leadership engagement, poor
safety performance, complacency or lack of safety ownership.
Understanding how safety leadership differs from other leadership
theories can give you a competitive edge which is not solely based
upon financial quotas, but instead based upon the moral code of
ensuring the health and well-being of your employees. This book
goes beyond mere safety slogans or anecdotal stories that relate to
safety leadership. Instead an empirical and research-based approach
will be shared which can help improve the overall culture of an
organisation as well as the safety of employees. Tools, case
studies, theories and practical applications will be shared which
can help create the blueprint for organisational change that you
seek. Even when things are working well, constant innovation and
adoption of best practices can help companies go from good to great
and leave a lasting legacy for employees and customers alike.
Detailing the mechanics of safety leadership, this book will drive
the change and results you want.

Domestic violence has been with us a very long time - it has a
beginning and it must have an ending. The pace of change has been
slow because men have failed to take responsibility for ending the
violence. This book challenges men to take that responsibility
seriously, especially the men in government throughout the region.
The focus is the Americas since the problem of violence is most
urgent there, where 42 of the world's 50 most violent cities are
located. The possibilities for progressive governments in the
region to take up the proposed solutions are realistic and
imperative.
