“MISSION EXCELLENCE”

Speaking in Fast Company magazine on the requisite for change to achieve business success, former Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich acclaimed, “Organizations don’t need change agents…they need change insurgents.” This seminar casts participants into the role of ‘Insurgents of Excellence’ challenging them to adopt a safety excellence mindset, challenge the traditional obstacles to success, and make peak safety performance a Mission Possible in their organizations.

In this interactive program, ‘Mission Excellence’ teams complete a series of excellence ‘missions’ designed to expose common performance impediments, and identify the leader/manager practices of high performance safety organizations. Missions targeting four critical drivers of human behavior: Leadership (values), Management (methods), Consequence Delivery (practices), and Recognition and Rewards (systems) are timed, graded, and competitively scored to instigate new thinking, track knowledge development, and demonstrate the powerful impact that performance feedback has on human behavior…safe Vs unsafe.

This session imposes many of the ‘reality constraints’ that managers face in their daily ‘mission’ of producing products and services-- at quota, within specification, on time, against competitive pressures, at a competitive cost…without injuring people! ‘Mission Excellence’ teams explore the following safety excellence questions:

• Is ‘Zero Injuries’ the ultimate ‘safety goal’ of high performance safety organizations?

• What is the one critical responsibility of all operations managers? Hint: Starts with ‘Pro__________!

• What is the core ‘myth-conception’ impeding safety excellence in most companies?

• What don't they teach you in B-School…or the trenches that is critical to safety success?

• What are the ‘four’ performance management strategies, which offer but only one choice?

• What is the ‘bottom line’ on safety in excellence organizations?

• What is the common denominator of leading and managing, which makes them different…yet the same?

• How can ‘problem seeing’ be turned into ‘solution finding’ by repositioning our ’Locus of Control’?

• What top motivator of employee performance that has evaded managers for over 50 years?

• Do incentives work? How about in improving safe work performance?

• Why is manipulation of employee work performance so prevalent in today’s organizations?

• Why is more training most likely not the answer to repetitive at risk behaviors in an organization?

• What consequences will improve safe employee work practices ‘once and for all’…and

• What are the four levels of ‘Organizational Intelligence’ that must be mastered to overcome the conventional ‘Wiz-Dumbs’ that impede safety excellence in most organizations?
