Deshon L Brown: Leading Before the Incident, Gebunden

Klappentext

Most preventable incidents do not begin with failure.

They begin with tolerance.

Long before an event makes the news, leadership decisions quietly reshape risk. Red conditions are reframed as gray. Safety raises concerns without the authority to act. Profitable operations are given more patience. Front-line workers learn when speaking up changes nothing-and silence follows.

When the incident finally occurs, executives are often surprised.

They shouldn't be.

Leading Before the Incident examines why executives are often farther from operational reality than they realize-and how leadership distance, misplaced authority, and performance pressure normalize risk in plain sight.

This is not a safety manual. It does not offer checklists or best practices. It does not explain what to do after something goes wrong.

Instead, it explains why leadership decisions made before an incident matter more than any response after.

Written for executives, board members, and senior leaders, this book challenges readers to reconsider what they tolerate, how authority is exercised, and why prevention requires intervention long before proof appears.

Because the most important incident is the one you will never see.
