HOW LEADERS INFLUENCE WORKPLACE BEHAVIOUR

I can’t count how many times I’ve had the discussion with business leaders around what is or isn’t common sense.

But what you need to remember is that incidents are rarely the result of a single action, failure or factor.

In the workplace, people are influenced by this interwoven relationship between a few different factors; such as the job or task itself, in particular the demands posed by that task, people are influenced by their own behaviour which is influenced by their competence, experience, attitude and personality and people are influenced by the company-related factors such as, the resources they’re provided with, and the leadership they work under and the culture that defines the way we do things around here.

For these very reasons, we cannot assume that common sense is anything but common.

And when you’re cognisant of your inherent power and influence in the workplace, just by way of your job title, you are more open to appreciating how you influence those company-related factors by what you give your attention to …. In other words, how you demonstrate to others that something is a priority to you.

Which is why in today’s episode of the KnowWTA Show, I’ll give you 3 Questions that you can ask yourself when making decisions or when you’re reviewing an incident investigation report or your health & safety performance reports, that will demonstrate that safe & healthy work is a priority.

So let’s get started…

When you’re finished watching, I’d love to know:

• Have you changed something in your business after realising it would have a negative impact on your people? Or, maybe you discussed it as a management team or board, but never introduced it because of its potential negative impact?
