There is good evidence that a close relationship exists between management effectiveness & safety performance. A Canadian company says "safety & efficient operation are one & the same thing." Safety is (a) an excellent vehicle for accomplishing nearly everything we have to accomplish; (b) even more it is a brutally sharp measuring tool for telling us the results we are - or are not - getting. In the late 1980s, Paul O'Neill former CEO of ALCOA, proclaimed that safety would be FIRST in all actions. Combined profits for 1988 & 1989 were more than double the total of the 8 previous years. Mr. O'Neill's article, "A New Way To Wake Up A Giant," appeared in Fortune magazine October 22, 1990. Frank E. Bird, Jr. & Ray J. Davies, internationally known safety leaders, describe in detail; the reasons these positive benefits accompany the application of a good safety program in a just released, 325 page book, SAFETY & THE BOTTOM LINE. "Safety Develops a Quality Prone Environment," is typical of chapters describing Bottom Line benefits from the good, human relationship, value of safety, that was recognized as early as 2200BC in the Hammurabi Code.

It describes the element that is commonly overlooked by many quality processes; the failure to specifically identify the critical behaviors needed to improve quality and to sustain the quality improvement initiative. The authors provide a detailed understanding of where quality processes typically break down and how they work better with a focus on the right behaviors. The book provides a blueprint for engaging employees in a behavior-based quality system that can achieve significant quality improvement for any organization.

Offers a broad view of leadership and shareholder value based on multiple business disciplines In Why the Bottom Line Isn't! authors Dave Ulrich and Norm Smallwood argue that sustainable shareholder value comes increasingly from assets not accounted for on an organization's balance sheet. These assets include a company's reputation, its ability to attract talent, and its ability to react quickly to new opportunities in the marketplace. Why the Bottom Line Isn't! harnesses research from a number of disciplines including human resources, finance, and leadership to establish a hierarchy of such intangibles. The authors extrapolate from these intangibles to establish leadership tools that will help create sustainable shareholder value. The book offers a broad, expansive perspective on leadership while eschewing convoluted theory for concrete practice. Dave Ulrich, Ph.D., ([email protected]) has been listed by BusinessWeek as the top "guru" in management education. He has co-authored 10 books and over 100 articles, serves on the Board of Directors of Herman Miller, and has consulted with over half of the Fortune 200 companies. He is currently on professional leave as Professor at the University of Michigan to serve as Mission President for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Montreal. Norm Smallwood ([email protected]) is co-founder of Results-Based Leadership (www.rbl.net), which provides education and consulting services based on this book as well as the ideas in Results-Based Leadership: How Leaders Build the Business and Improve the Bottom Line, which he co-authored with Ulrich.
