Great Leaders: Theodore Roosevelt
“At the time of decision, the best thing
you can do is make the right decision.
The next best thing you can do is make
the wrong decision. The worst thing
you can do is to make no decision.”

Management or Leadership?
Are there differences between
management (or managing) and
leadership (or leading)? If so, what are
they? Why do they matter, especially
when it comes to HSE?

Great Leaders: Bear Bryant
 “Take the praise, take the blame, but
don’t make excuses”
 “If something great happens, you did
it. If something good happens, we did
it. If something bad happens, I did it.”
 “People who are in it for their own
good are individualists. They don’t
share the same heartbeat that makes a
team so great. A great unit, whether it
be football or any organization, shares
the same heartbeat.”

Key Point Summary
 Effective HSE performance requires both management and leadership. Management is about making sure
the system works as designed. Leadership is developing a vision for the future, articulating that vision in
both words and actions, and motivating change.
 An organization’s risk competence; that is, the maturity of its systems to identify, assess, control, and
monitor risk, determines how proactively the organization manages HSE exposures.
 The vast majority of incident causes have their roots in latent organizational weaknesses. The more and
better work an organization does to manage its HSE processes, the better its HSE performance.
 HSE management is a vital part of any organization’s sustainability or sustainable business development
initiative. HSE leaders should be able to demonstrate how HSE concerns affect the long-term success of the
business.
Whose job is HSE?
HSE is everybody’s job. However, the optimal organizational culture is one in
which each and every stakeholder can state, with absolute honesty, “HSE is
my job.”

HSE Leadership
HSE management or HSE leadership? In the past, we have focused on managing HSE;
however, gradually we have moved to almost exclusive use of the term HSE leadership.
Why? Are there significant differences between the two terms? If so, what are they?
Identify two or three such differences and discuss why they may be important. Be
prepared to present your results briefly to the group at large.

Proactive vs. Reactive HSE
Leadership
Effective HSE leadership shares goals and objectives that have been traditionally
used to describe effective risk management. They are outlined below.
“The essential difference between proactive HSE and reactive
HSE is the maturity level of organizational risk competence;
that is, the ability of the organization to identify, assess,
control, and monitor risk.”
Identify all
loss
exposures
Monitor the
plan
Implement
the plan
Group Discussion
What are the elements of your HSE system that
drive the systematic, comprehensive identification
of loss exposures?
What criteria would you use to evaluate the risk in
each exposure? Why?
What is the hierarchy of controls for HSE
exposures? What is the rationale for this
hierarchy?
Evaluate the
risk in each
exposure
Develop a
control plan
What are the monitoring/measuring methods that
allow for adequate monitoring of both the plan and
the exposures?
Why are these goals and objectives pictured as a
repeating process?

Group Discussion
Examples of Immediate Causes (Symptoms) of Loss
• Failure to Follow Procedures
• Failure to Secure Equipment
• Horseplay
• Poor Housekeeping
• Inadequate Guarding
• Excessive Noise
Examples of Basic Causes of Loss
• Lack of Knowledge or Skill
• Inadequate Capability
• Stress
• Inadequate Leadership
• Inadequate Engineering
• Inadequate Maintenance
What are the elements of an effective HSE management system that should prevent development of the basic causes and, subsequently,
the immediate causes?
JUST FOR PERSONAL REFLECTION
How well is your organization implementing and managing these elements? How effectively does organizational leadership demonstrate
support for these elements?

HSE and Sustainability
Sustainability or sustainable business development has become a major focus for all organizations. Sustainability is commonly perceived
to involve three distinct arenas of business concern which are so inextricably connected they cannot be managed as separate concerns.
The figure below illustrates these three dimensions and their relationship. In which arena would you place safety and health? Why would
a well-managed safety and health process be vital to a sustainable organization?
