Leader Care Profile
Assessing and developing safety leadership
Bill George said, “successful leaders lead with the heart, not just the head. They possess qualities like empathy, compassion and courage. They also have the ability to establish deep, long-term and genuine relationships where others trust them.”
While individuals often become leaders based on their exceptional technical expertise, what makes them successful in fostering a healthy safety culture depends on their ability to influence and motivate their team. In fact, one of the key predictors of organizational safety success turns on the behavior of those in management positions.
Our Leader Care Profile (LCP) assesses the qualities associated with building trust and establishing genuine interpersonal relationships. Working closely with one of our coaches, managers create a soft-skills development plan based on the assessment results. The goal is to cultivate the behaviors correlated with authentic leadership and ultimately to enhance the organization’s overall safety culture.
Your Benefits
- A healthy safety culture
- Improved interpersonal relationships
- Authentic leadership based on humanity, integrity and competence
Our Approach
The Leader Care Profile (LCP) starts with a self-assessment of leadership skills. It focuses on humanity, integrity and competence:
- Humanity – shows empathy, treats everyone fairly, helps others grow and readily interacts with others.
- Integrity – is self-aware, shows personal values, manages emotions and is open to change.
- Competence – communicates vision, owns role, influences others, and follows through.
After the initial assessment, you meet with a coach to create a customized plan and timeline to develop targeted skills. Coaching support continues as you begin to implement the agreed upon steps. A second assessment is then made to gauge improvements, and the process can proceed in a cyclical manner for as long as desired. At the end of this process you possess a core set of leadership skills which you have practiced embedding into your daily behaviors thus supporting sustainability within the organization
