How are your safety leadership skills, where do you excel? What blind spots are you overlooking? And, what’s the value of knowing?
What is the Real Value?
You’ve just asked the right question. The word is real. It’s honest. Matter-of-fact. We can’t see ourselves as others see us and can only guess at our impact – positive or negative.
Leaders can be perfectly aligned to the needs of the team. And, then there may be moments when even the most respected leaders experience gaps. An unexpected event or a project that turns in an unintended direction requires leaders to access a range of leadership dimensions.
JMJ research has identified the six critical safety leadership skills. After decades of work with clients across industries, the most respected individuals – leaders from all organization levels – possess capabilities of gaining commitment. They act with integrity. They are adept at building strong relationships, and in doing so, create a sense of belonging. They encourage continuous learning and utilize an integral approach in all aspects of their work.
Well-rounded leaders can adjust their capabilities in just the right moment to enable the greatest of performances.
JMJ Senior Consultant, Synthia Smith, remarks on the value of understanding a leader’s relationship to access these six safety leadership skills. “The gift of feedback makes a huge difference. As you are a human being, you are going to have blind spots. Things that you don’t know about yourself. And, without feedback – how will you ever have the 20-20 vision needed to grow and advance?”
Baker Concrete found that upping the focus on individual leaders was vital to improving organization-wide safety performance. One senior executive commented on his JMJ 360 Safety Leadership feedback, “My session was very valuable and came up with things for a personal action plan to be more effective and a true safety champion.”
The 360 Safety Leadership program marries tried and true technology with some of the best learning from JMJ’s 30 years of work in the safety leadership area. Synthia comments, “It’s like a Rosetta Stone for safety leaders.”

The Safety Leadership 360 Assessment Survey is designed to measure, analyze and improve key focus areas of leaders at all levels. It serves as the standard for providing leaders with feedback about their individual safety leadership practices – as experienced by their direct reports, peers and line manager. It’s online. It’s 100% confidential.
Leaders completing the Assessment receive candid insight and clear, workable steps for development. The Safety Leadership 360 Assessment Survey offers a straight-up perspective.
It exposes leaders to a set of competencies and specific steps to build an integral view of what safety leadership is. The 360 tool reveals areas of strengths and weaknesses, including a comprehensive personal debrief and coaching session that builds toward an achievable plan of action.
The tool can support leadership development at the team level, so that leaders on a team can see how they are perceived by their organization and then can target areas for improvement as a unified leadership group.
If a leader or an organization is committed to safety performance, the first step is to identify and build strong leadership capability.
