Risk Management - Leadership

Overview

This meeting is organised by Midland Branch East District.

Members may arrive at 6.00pm for buffet refreshment and networking with the meeting commencing at 7.00pm.

Synopsis

A key issue blocking improvements in an organisations health & safety culture is the way that health and safety professionals talk to senior management. If health & safety practitioners are unable to present their views in a way that is directly related to the wider demands of the business then health and safety management will be seen as an add-on rather than an integral part of the business.

What's in it for me?

A key component of the solution is the need for practitioners to adopt the role of ‘leaders’ to influence the way that senior management address the topic.

This presentation will look at the qualities that make a leader as opposed to a manager and demonstrate how attendees can make the ‘journey’ to become effective leaders.

Members will be asked to develop a vision for themselves, which will address where they are at present within their organisations and whether they and their organisation want or need to be.  To complete this journey, the importance of action planning will be stressed and the participants will be encouraged to develop personal action plans to develop their leadership skills.

Cardinus will provide a £200 voucher code to redeem on their website against their training products and also a URL so that interested individuals can download their presentation directly from the Cardinus website.
