Focus Sessions – Big Man syndrome – authority gradients – replay page

There have been many accidents and incidents where a major causal factor was that a less experienced worker didn't feel able to question a more senior person's decision, even when they thought it might be wrong. How can we improve safety by teaching people in an organization to handle authority differences better and create an environment where people will be more confident in speaking up for safety?

Join us for these and other questions with our panel of experts at the table in the studio. Get tips to help your organisation become nicer to work at and safer in operations.
