More supervision is injured or killed each year because they take on a task or function that they would not let their folks do because of its risks or consequences. Come on man! If your people are not allowed to participate supervision should not do it also. Do it right! Spend the time, purchase the tool, order the part, follow the policy, etc. People learn more by watching you than they do listening...

Friday night insight: Using profanity and swearing does not help your cause. It destroys your character and makes you truly childish to most. As a personal and professional opportunity for growth ~ control your tongue. If you mad or upset take it out in private. Make adjectives have value. #safety #professional #lead #mature

It’s not about going through the motions, it’s about the details being right. Invest in your people ~ don’t cruise through your day on auto-pilot. #train #serve #lead

In light of it being Sunday. Forgive your enemies and let it go. You carrying baggage is harder on you than the person that wronged you. Half the time they don’t remember wronging you, and you’re letting them rent space in your head. #insight #lead #forgive #letitgo

Your approach and tone are as important as your actual words. Does you speech match your intent? Often people speak out of expedience or emotion other than purpose. Start working on your delivery being “real” don’t blow smoke and don’t degrade your folks. In all things – love people. #lead #grow #fantheflame #invest #deliver

Walking through downtown Atlanta tonight and watching the number of students and residents that are numb to the traffic and pedestrian routes. Folks avoid locational camouflage and attentions and change blindness in your people and your workplace. Have you done enough? That’s the big question. #safety #truth #opportunity #grow

You can either blame or grow. You cannot do both. #safety #grow #lead

Don’t let biases affect your incident report investigations. Focus on the latent conditions and not on the trigger. It is okay to place your policies and systems under a microscope. #safety #lead #thehumanelement #hownotwhy

Unsafe acts and conditions are symptoms not causes. These triggers will reveal latent symptoms/ conditions. Fix the problem not the symptoms! #safety #truth #opportunity #fantheflame #humanelement

Spend this long weekend focused on your family. Step away from the laptop, put down the cell phone, and check out for a much needed family weekend. Pick up a new board game, visit a museum, or spend the weekend in the woods. Family is VERY important. As for me, I am throwing a brisket on the smoker and will be playing some Uno with family. #family #safety #values Happy Labor Day Weekend!

You will never be too important to not serve your employees. Nothing is more important than sharing time with your folks. #inspiration #serve #team  #truth

Learn to utilize the talent of your team. You have people who are experts in their field that would love the opportunity to share if simply asked. Allow your folks to shine. Take a back seat and watch them go. #getoutoftheway #safety #lead #grow #fantheflame
