Creating a Safety-Always Culture

Interpersonal dramas between safety team members and work groups reduce creativity, genius, and intuition. If left unresolved, these glitches become historic patterns as well as barriers to improving the group's relationships and the organization's processes. Without a shared picture of what the work group can become, commitment to making the picture a reality, and the willingness to take ownership and clean up the glitches, the members remain stuck in their ineffective patterns.

This component will help you and your team to each take ownership for your contribution to the group's glitches, then quickly make the necessary shifts that will lead to a common picture of the future.

Dan Miller's innovative strategies for Creating a Safety-Always Culture will help you and your team:

Participate in intentional discussions that focus on truth-telling and active listening
Identify and develop specific actions to clean up the glitches and rattles that keep groups unproductive
Illustrate and sign off on a future vision free of energy drains and creativity drains
Develop "request lists" to support the shifts needed to achieve the team vision

This component helps create lasting results, among others:

Higher-performance teams with increased productivity and safe work practices
More effective interpersonal relationships
Increased ability to implement continuous improvement principles and tools
Increased personal and group satisfaction, creativity, and cooperation

Like all Dan Miller programs, Creating a Safety-Always Culture will be tailored to the

specific needs and requirements of your team or organization.

"Eastman Kodak Company has worked closely with Dan Miller to provide a custom designed communication training package in support of our safety and quality behavioral improvement initiative. Dan has trained 250 Kodak employees to date. In the design phase, Dan worked very closely with the Kodak implementation team to understand our objectives, needs, and operational culture. His experience in this field and keen understanding of human behavioral concepts clearly paved the way for success. Dan graciously accepted constructive feedback and redirected his efforts as needed to adopt to our plant culture."

Our department became a healthy, effective operation. Within 3 months, recognition of our productivity was noticeable throughout the whole organization. Dan's follow-up philosophy helped keep us on track as well! My experiences working with Dan Miller have been positively unforgettable and life changing-both professionally and personally.
