Liderança Antifrágil program

Nine weeks of practical experiences and mentoring for leaders at every level. The situations participants face guide the development of safety leadership.

Discuss the program

Giving feedback, receiving bad news, or stopping an activity under pressure requires preparation. The program works through these situations with leaders, adapting the experiences and groups to the organization’s context.

Audiences and situations addressed

The program can serve executive leaders, operations managers, safety, health, and environmental professionals, and frontline leaders. It is appropriate when the organization needs to align leadership practices that directly influence safety.

Challenges that may guide the work include:

  • Increasing presence and improving listening in the field;
  • Giving feedback with firmness and respect;
  • Having difficult conversations without postponing important decisions;
  • Stopping unsafe activities and handling operational pressure;
  • Welcoming reports, questions, and bad news without punishing those who speak up;
  • Acknowledging mistakes, adjusting decisions, and upholding commitments;
  • Strengthening trust and responsibility within teams.

Development based on leaders’ experience

The practical experiences and mentoring start with situations leaders face. Group composition and supporting tools are defined according to the organization’s context.

Presence in the field

“See you in the field, where safety really happens.”

Going into the field is not about policing. It is about observing to learn, asking questions, and understanding working conditions. Leaders need to consider what they find in the field when making decisions.

Program and Mentoring

In the Liderança Antifrágil program, mentoring is part of the development experience and connects with the group’s shared practices. Mentoring for Leaders is an independent service, with support adapted to the specific challenges participants bring.

The two services can operate independently. When combined, Mentoring for Leaders can deepen the application of practices addressed in the program.
