Team Leadership in High-Hazard Environments

'Team Leadership in High-Hazard Environments is unique in that its focus is on the management requirements to lead successfully and achieve stellar safety performance in high-risk industries. Adherence to the model presented in this book will transform traditional views on safety leadership. Hands-on tools to take team leadership to a higher level are provided.' Fred A. Manuele, President, Hazards Limited, USA 'Randy Cadieux has pushed the envelope in exploring and discussing the intersection of technology and human capability in safety performance and operational excellence. Team Leadership in High-Hazard Environments can help any organization discover hidden potential in human capability impacting productivity and safety in its operations.' H. Landis Floyd, Principal Consultant & Global Electrical Safety Leader, DuPont 'Randy has the rare gift of being able to take the research literature and present it in a way that is interesting and relevant to operational personnel. As a veteran US Marine Corps aviator he knows how to lead in dangerous environments. This is a refreshing and useful text. A must have for team leaders working in high hazard domains.' Paul O'Connor, Lecturer in Primary Care, National University of Ireland, Galway, Ireland 'I think Randy Cadieux's book is a must for any leader with high-velocity teams that respond to important conditions. The book reads like a carefully constructed cookbook that helps you prepare your response teams for amazing performance.' Todd Conklin, Los Alamos National Laboratory, USA 'Randy Cadieux has written an important, grounded set of operations-based guidelines that reaffirm the basics that are often overlooked in current breathless treatments of teams and leadership. Cadieux's analysis, anchored in deep experience with Marine Corps aviation operations, tackles such knotty issues as time-sensitive risk management, assertiveness, working in high-hazard environments, and adaptability. Each issue is summarized in actionable next steps. These clarifications of the sharp end should be read by all managers whose blunt end simplifications complicate the situations their operators face.' Karl E. Weick, Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan, USA 'In this book, the author sets out to join multiple safety and performance viewpoints by taking a different perspective from the outset - that is one that has its conceptual roots grounded in team operations and safety performance systems used in the US marine corps aviation operations, known as Crew Resource Management. One of the goals of this type of approach is to enable people to make decisions in real-time for both safety and performance goals.' Continuity, Insurance and Risk (CIR) Magazine, January 2015 'This is a very well planned, thoughtfully designed and highly readable book which takes account of the different perspectives which will be held by senior managers, supervisors, operators etc and aims to take all these elements into account while striving to accomplish the same end.' The RoSPA Occupational Safety & Health Journal, March 2015 'Cadieux goes to great lengths to illustrate how, as leaders, we need to be able to itemise the fundamentals of each challenge, so that we can develop mission specific strategies to overcome them. I believe that readers of this book would agree that the author clearly has high level competencies that he's gladly sharing with those willing to expand as leaders. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that is committed to the process of expansion as a leader and to the parallel goal of improvement as an individual.' Fire and Rescue, first quarter 2015
