“Drive through the graining.”
– Formula 1
Typically the best laid plans don’t get executed; rather, they are adapted to the situation and continually change to improve. It’s understanding that the “one size (DOES NOT) fit all” approach leads to success. And therein is a key concept: leading the approach rather than waiting. Stretching capabilities, adapting, and innovating solutions results in getting through the noise to achieve clear success.
Alone: sometimes it feels that way for safety professionals. But understanding business, aligning with performance metrics, and gaining advocates in the organization allows for the seeds of success to grow.
Success in any business is founded on the people within. Having the right people in the right place at the right time equates to unparalleled performance.
Instant success is extremely rare. From the outside, it can appear that a single focus, a single factor, a single step is all that was needed to achieve it and sustain it.
