The Relationship Factor in Safety Leadership by Rosa Antonia Carrillo 

Why do some managers, supervisors and executives consistently get better safety results? How can we turn a negative situation with employees into a new starting point? How can we improve on the national norm of 30% employee engagement? Rosa Antonia Carrillo answers these hard questions using the success stories of leaders.

Then she explains why it is difficult to maintain those qualities in the workplace. Physiologically human beings need a network of relationships to survive. When those relationships are negative or non-existent trust and communication diminishes. She distills this research and experience into eight beliefs about human nature. These are the foundation of Relationship Centered Leadership.

The Relationship Factor in Safety Leadership is highly readable. Carrillo delivers practical takeaways that give executives, managers and safety professionals compelling insights into how we can have more engaged employees and a safer work environment.
