Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan, USA 'In this book, the author sets out to join multiple safety and performance viewpoints by taking a different perspective from the outset - that is one that has its conceptual roots grounded in team operations and safety performance systems used in the US marine corps aviation operations, known as Crew Resource Management. One of the goals of this type of approach is to enable people to make decisions in real-time for both safety and performance goals.' Continuity, Insurance and Risk (CIR) Magazine, January 2015 'This is a very well planned, thoughtfully designed and highly readable book which takes account of the different perspectives which will be held by senior managers, supervisors, operators etc and aims to take all these elements into account while striving to accomplish the same end.' The RoSPA Occupational Safety & Health Journal, March 2015 'Cadieux goes to great lengths to illustrate how, as leaders, we need to be able to itemise the fundamentals of each challenge, so that we can develop mission specific strategies to overcome them. I believe that readers of this book would agree that the author clearly has high level competencies that he's gladly sharing with those willing to expand as leaders. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that is committed to the process of expansion as a leader and to the parallel goal of improvement as an individual.' Fire and Rescue, first quarter 2015
