Leader As Coach

2

Safety Vision

…into a reality where

continually reducing exposure

becomes an organizational

value is a true test of leadership

Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality

3

Everyone has an intrinsic value for safety; that’s

just how we start, regardless of whatever

competing values we may also hold. A deep

personal value for safety is the appreciation,

prioritization, and cultivation of that intrinsic

value, and we find it develops over time, with

experience, and with attention.
