8 Safety & Performance Continually Improving Global Nuclear Safety Quality Assurance Quality Control Quality Management (Integrated) Management Systems 50-C-QA Systemic approach 50-C-Q 1996 GS-R GSR Part Time

9 Objective of the GS-R Part 2 Leadership and Management for Safety The application of SF-1 to establish requirements for: Effective leadership for safety Effective management for safety Effective safety culture improvement activities Safety as a sustainable outcome of excellence in leadership and management Integrated management system: make sure that other requirements will not compromise Nuclear Safety Systemic approach of ITO

10 Difference between Management and Leadership The difference between management and leadership can be stated simply whereby management is a function and leadership is a relation. Management ensures that work is completed in accordance with requirements, plan and resources. It is through leadership that individuals may be influenced and motivated, and organizations changed. Managers may also act as leaders. Source: Safety Standards: GS-G-3.5

11 Manager or Leader? Management = a function Planning/Budgeting Organizing/Staffing Task Distribution/Follow-up Controlling/Problem Solving Leadership = a relationship Create shared understanding Establishing Direction Aligning People Motivating and Inspiring To manage means to accomplish activities and master routines, while to lead means to influence others and create shared understanding as driver for change

12 New (Suggested) Requirements on Leadership for Safety Requirement 1: Demonstration of leadership by senior management The senior management of the organization shall demonstrate leadership. The senior management shall ensure that managers at all levels in the organization demonstrate leadership for safety.

13 New (Suggested) Requirements on Leadership for Safety Requirement 2: Demonstration of leadership for safety by managers at all levels Managers at all levels in the organization shall demonstrate leadership for safety in application of the management system and in fostering of a strong safety culture.

14 Paradoxes for Leaders in Nuclear Organizations PARADOX 1) Routinized Work and Motivating Tasks 2) Abstract and Tangible 3) Administrative Tasks and Visible Leadership 4) Delegation and The Approval Chain 5) Error Free and Report Errors 6) Imitation and Innovation 7) Openness and Public Trust 8) Priorities and Distractions 9) Procedural Adherence and Questioning Attitude 10) Production & Safety 11) Short Term Business Results and Organizational Capacity Building 12) Reactive and Proactive Source: Nuclear Energy Series draft Leadership in Nuclear Organizations

15 Challenges facing Nuclear Leaders Some examples Triggered from outside of the organisation Ageing workforce and Knowledge management Ageing NPPs - Mix of new and old technology Potential goal conflicts - economy and safety Political situation Society/national culture versus required safety culture Mass media especially in case of events Young generation s values - NPPs remote from cities, no life time loyalty Multicultural workforce Regulatory demands Source: K.Dahlgren Persson

16 Challenges facing Nuclear Leaders, cont. Some examples Triggered from inside of the organization Keep engagement/motivation up in a rule based organisation Keep engagement/motivation up when independent control is conducted Foster an open climate for reporting, speak about failures, questioning attitude Correct inappropriate behaviour Encouragement of conservative decision making Encouragement of a root cause focused thinking - many why s Broad understanding of safety systemic view (ITO/MTO) Constantly put safety on the agenda and avoid safety discussion to be abstract, take the discussion to a concrete dimension Be reflective about message sent out in the organisation e g Safety and economics/production, avoid delegating it to workers Source: K.Dahlgren Persson

19 Definitions of Leadership Leadership is the process of creating clarity and consistency of direction and making that direction important, exciting, and worthy to others. ~ Lawrence M. Miller, USA Leadership is not simply a process of acting or behaving, or a process of manipulating rewards. It is a process of powerbased reality construction and needs to be understood in these terms. ~ Mats Alvesson, Sweden

20 Leadership and Safety Culture So how can leaders influence safety culture? Leadership is not simply a process of acting or behaving, or a process of manipulating rewards. It is a process of power-based reality construction and needs to be understood in these terms. To answer we need to understand what drives human behaviour on a individual and collective level
