How we do it

New View Safety are on the cutting edge of leadership science and practice. Drawing on the theory of paradox, we have developed a novel and powerful approach to leadership development.

Rather than focusing on the personality or style of behaviour of leaders, New View Safety teaches the decision-making skills that get to the core of organisational dilemmas and tensions. Further, we work on the resilience of leaders to enable conscious and effective decisions when it matters most—times where goals and priorities conflict due to scarce resources, lack of time, or dynamic change.

In many organisations, leaders can get stuck in a ‘vicious cycle’. Tensions surface and a ‘knee jerk’ reaction takes place where one goal is traded off against another. This temporarily relieves the pressure, only to resurface at a later time.

Alternatively, New View Safety helps your leaders to establish a ‘virtuous cycle’. Tensions are embraced, understood, and integrated using practical strategies that we have identified over years of research and development.

When it comes to health and safety, tensions and dilemmas are rife. Our ground-breaking research identified four key tensions that leaders face when managing health and safety.

     1. Placing an emphasis on both production and safety.

     2. Enforcing compliance while also allowing flexibility.

     3. Bridging upper management safety requirements versus frontline safety needs and requests.

     4. Balancing time in the office and the time spent with employees in the field.

By surfacing these tensions and equipping leaders with the skills to manage and navigate them more effectively, your safety performance will improve.
