“Faced with the choice between changing one’s mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everybody gets busy on the proof.”
John Kenneth Galbraith
Where’s The Focus?
[email protected]@jerhodes42773-548-8037
Advancement Defined
• The Act Of Being Raised To A Higher Rank Or Position
8
Advancement RE‐Defined
• Positioning One’s Self To Make Broader More Significant Contributions
• Purely Upward Mobility Is Not Feasible, Practical Or For Some Even Desirable
• The Process Of Making Someone/thing Better Or More Successful
[email protected]@jerhodes42773-548-8037
Building Your Base
• Having And Maintaining Subject Matter Knowledge And Skill Sets Is Foundational
• There Is Never An Excuse For Not Remaining Current (It’s An Investment Not A Cost)
• HSE Certifications
9
Critical Leadership Skills
• Don’t Just Know About Others; Understand And Know About Yourself And What You Are Capable Of Doing
• Be Known As Someone Who Develops Talent In Others And Is Constantly Seeking To Develop Your Own Talents
[email protected]@jerhodes42773-548-8037
Critical Leadership Skills
• Always Hold Yourself To The Highest Standards Of Excellence And Associate With People Who Do The Same
• Don’t Just Look For The Next Opportunity But Become Better At Listening For Opportunities
10
Critical Leadership Skills
• Display A Consistently High Level Of Energy And Work To Energize Others
• Be Willing To Make The ‘Hard’ Decisions
Critical Leadership Skills
• Remove Perceptual Arrogance And Be Open And Receptive To The Idea That You May Not Be The Smartest Person In The Room
• Apply The Philosophy Of ‘Kaizen’ Which Is Continuous And Orderly Improvement.
11
3 Personal Leadership Brand Essentials
• Standards
• Values
• Your U S P (unique selling or value proposition)
[email protected]@jerhodes42773-548-8037
Your Personal Leadership Brand must be built on SOS (Service to Others
above Self).
You must be willing to make yourself uncomfortable so that others can be
comfortable.
12
6 Advancement Opportunities
Think of Yourself As An Entrepreneur
Learn To Listen For Opportunities Versus Looking For Them
Identify Problems (dept. or org.) That Others Haven’t And Take On That Assignment
Choose An Area To Build Your Expertise
Always Ask, “Can This Be Done Better By Changing Something—Even Slightly?”
Think Strategically No Matter What Your Job Title
[email protected]@jerhodes42773-548-8037
Consistent Use of Leadership Skills
Let people see you outside of your HSE
role
Let people see what you can do beyond HSE
Get out of the office and into the field
Take HSE blinders off
Learn the business
Look Up (stream)
Understanding what advancement means, the importance of maintaining a strong foundation and with examples of critical leadership skills, the following are ways to consistently display your skills for advancement:

Reminder: Why We Want To Advance
HSE is amongst those relatively few professions primarily focused on the protection of life, safety,
health and the environment
Lacking knowledge of subject matter + lacking leadership skills = misdirection of organizational
efforts
“HSE Professionals Save Lives!”
“No matter what you may or may not have, as perceived by a misguided community about what is valuable, people understand hard work and talent – and it can prevail.”
Maxine Waters
“…but it can’t prevail alone. People actually need to see you, know you and appreciate you.”
