Leadership and Management

Introduction

For a safety management system to be effective, it must be partnered with a strong leadership technique. This article seeks to establish a model for safety leadership that been created in light of leadership discussion within the safety community and mainstream thought on organizational leadership. Leadership realized in the process whereby one or more individuals succeed in attempting to frame and define the reality of others. Indeed, leadership situations may be conceived as those in which there exists an obligation or a perceived right on the part of certain individuals to define the reality of others.

Discussion

Leadership and management often confused, but not that one reaches to make a real difference between these two realities inextricably linked.
