We are joined on this weeks conversation by one of my favourite thinkers in the safety field Rosa Antonia Carrillo. ROSA ANTONIA CARRILLO, M.S.O.D., president of Carrillo and Associates, is an internationallyrecognized author and safety leadership consultant. Edgar Schein recommended her 2020 book, TheRelationship Factor in Safety Leadership, as required reading for anyone wanting to understand safety culture.She has 25 years of hands-on international experience with clients in utilities, oil & gas, mining, energy, biotech,manufacturing, financial services, education, and government sectors. She has conducted 100's of safety cultureassessments, interviews with managers and employee focus groups, which gives her an unusual depth ofunderstanding of how cultures operate. She knows how employees think about psychological safety, reportinginjuries or near misses. She knows why employees do or don't engage.For her, leaders are individuals who consciously choose to take on the responsibility for providing direction,gathering resources and ensuring that everyone under them feels they can contribute their best self to the goalsof the community. Her core conviction is that effective leadership is focused on creating a culture where thosebeing led can flourish.She is known for her authenticity, which enables her to teach and speak in a way that relates to real lifeexperience. Through face-to-face presentations and conversation, Rosa inspires physical, relational and spiritualdevelopment. She has learned that the leadership journey entails continuous personal growth and alwaysrequires more work than we realize.Her expertise is frequently sought on the topic of how to create and maintain trust. By speaking with 100’s ofemployees and managers, Ms. Carrillo has gathered the leadership actions that create trust and the ones thatdestroy it. People must feel included to trust management. They will not speak up to prevent failures anddisasters unless they feel valued and respected.As a former adjunct faculty in the Pepperdine University Presidential Key Executive program, Ms. Carrilloworked in depth to develop leadership capability in high-level managers.
