One transformative takeaway from the BHP AGM presentation was: “nothing gets done if it’s not done safely.”
This powerful concept has important implications for leaders: focus on real outcomes, manage total risk, lead people to safety.
In order to “get things done” leaders and followers first need to be sure about who they are committed to be. Who we are being, gives us what we do and that in turns gives us the outcome.
So, a leader might take on being committed to the safe completion of a task by their workgroup. That will determine a different way of doing the work than just completing the task no matter what. A safely completed activity will be what gets done.
Hats off to BHP for providing intellectual and practical leadership on this! Well done.
