Being great at something looks easy. The reality is much different.

Great safety leaders have a hard task ahead of them—they must understand the risks and applicable regulations while building trust, respect, and influence within their team.

In the newest episode of Season 2 of The Safety Experts podcast, your host, David Griffith, welcomes safety experts Jerome Spear and Jeremy Lancaster to discuss 3 basic principles of safety leadership: 1) understanding fundamentals, 2) getting out in the field, and 3) applying mentoring and coaching skills. Their conversation includes:

How to fill the gaps in knowledge as a younger workforce replaces experienced leaders
The importance of being where the work is and being out in the field
How to build effective relationships and trust as a leader
Examples of "great" leadership and what makes it different from "good" leadership
