We are joined on this weeks conversation by one of my favourite thinkers in the safety field Rosa Antonia Carrillo.

ROSA ANTONIA CARRILLO, M.S.O.D., president of Carrillo and Associates, is an internationally

recognized author and safety leadership consultant. Edgar Schein recommended her 2020 book, The

Relationship Factor in Safety Leadership, as required reading for anyone wanting to understand safety culture.

She has 25 years of hands-on international experience with clients in utilities, oil & gas, mining, energy, biotech,

manufacturing, financial services, education, and government sectors. She has conducted 100's of safety culture

assessments, interviews with managers and employee focus groups, which gives her an unusual depth of

understanding of how cultures operate. She knows how employees think about psychological safety, reporting

injuries or near misses. She knows why employees do or don't engage.

For her, leaders are individuals who consciously choose to take on the responsibility for providing direction,

gathering resources and ensuring that everyone under them feels they can contribute their best self to the goals

of the community. Her core conviction is that effective leadership is focused on creating a culture where those

being led can flourish.

She is known for her authenticity, which enables her to teach and speak in a way that relates to real life

experience. Through face-to-face presentations and conversation, Rosa inspires physical, relational and spiritual

development. She has learned that the leadership journey entails continuous personal growth and always

requires more work than we realize.

Her expertise is frequently sought on the topic of how to create and maintain trust. By speaking with 100’s of

employees and managers, Ms. Carrillo has gathered the leadership actions that create trust and the ones that

destroy it. People must feel included to trust management. They will not speak up to prevent failures and

disasters unless they feel valued and respected.

As a former adjunct faculty in the Pepperdine University Presidential Key Executive program, Ms. Carrillo

worked in depth to develop leadership capability in high-level managers. Ms. Carrillo's 18 years of

experience at the operational level with managers, supervisors and union members in North America, Latin

America, Central Asia, and Bahrain, brings her credibility with all levels of the organization.

Ms. Carrillo holds a Masters of Science degree in Organization Development at Pepperdine University and is

a former member of the Faculty in the Presidential Key Executive MBA program at Pepperdine University,

specializing in Organizational Behavior.
