    With riveting storytelling, Steve Harden dissects the final hours of the Deepwater Horizon oil platform. The spellbinding account of events not told by the headlines reveals mission-critical lessons for every organization where mistakes can be disastrous. The firestorm that engulfed the rig and reduced men known for their toughness to tears illuminates the consequences for failure every leader should heed – high reliability depends on expert teamwork, standardized processes, and leaders committed to creating an environment where teamwork and standardization flourish.

  • Coaching for Improved Work Performance & Accountability

    With concrete examples and real-life stories, Steve Harden tackles with a simple and effective approach the problem with which every leader struggles – why people don't do what you want them to do in the workplace. The audience will leave the session with a new-found confidence in their ability to get the high performance they need from their staff. Participants will know:

    • The four reasons direct reports don't do what you want them to do;
    • How to diagnose which reason for non-compliance is in play;
    • How to conduct coaching conversations with direct reports to create performance accountability.

    In this presentation, Steve Harden conducts an experiential session in which participants will learn how to encourage (and get) the input of their colleagues in a way that fosters a culture where it is both safe, and expected, to speak up. The presentation utilizes a dynamic, skills-building role play requiring the participation of all audience members.

  • Was It Really a Miracle? What Every Leader Can Learn About High Reliability from Aviation & Captain Sully

    US Airways flight 1549, under the command of Captain "Sully" Sullenberger, ditched in the Hudson River in New York City due to a catastrophic loss of thrust in both engines. Capt. Sully and his crew have been widely hailed as heroes and the ditching event has been repeatedly described in the media as the "Miracle on the Hudson." Few outside observers understand the three key ingredients of the culture of safety – and the key leadership actions necessary to create this culture in high reliability organizations – that contributed to the successful outcome of the event. By analyzing the lessons learned from the Miracle on the Hudson, healthcare leaders will understand the steps needed to replicate the key components of a high-performance culture where team members hold one another accountable to do what they say they are going to do.

    This highly customized presentation includes messages about teamwork and collaboration, hardwired safety tools, and just culture.
