If we delve a little deeper into the concept of leadership
in the nuclear world and how to land it in the field,
we should refer to the INPO 04-003 Guidelines
for Effective Nuclear Supervisor Performance.
We have already discussed the importance of leaders
when it comes to modelling culture within an organization.
To transfer this to our field, we must know a series of keys
that Edgar Schein, another of one of the references in this field, listed:
Where do leaders focus?
What do they pay attention to?
Where they really focus is where their teams will focus.
And that must be consistent with their messages.
A suitable reaction of the leader to incidents in a resilient way
will make teams to align with him or her.
In the same way, allocating resources in these exceptional situations
in a reliable way will allow leaders to become an authority.
This assignment must be done in a systematic way.
As we have already said and I´d like to remark
being a role model is the greatest responsibility of a leader.
And finally, for teams to feel fulfilled, you must be able to recognize efforts
and establish rewards in the appropriate way in each case.
