Visible Leadership
“ Some people make things happen, some watch while
things happen, and some wonder what happened?”
When I wake up in the morning, instead of calling the
control room for an update, I decide to walk around for 20-
30 minutes starting at the process module and ending up at
the control room with my operators. I now have almost a
full picture of the night operations. In addition, when a
permit is closed out, I will perform site verification to
validate the work. My operators have been more vigilant
since and have been more up to speed on process and
equipment status and permit close-out quality.
