Leading Forward – Skills Development for Railroad Professionals Provides Training that Improves Safety Culture

Based on the data from years of completed Safety Culture Assessments, developing strong and effective front-line leaders is a need for many railroads – one that may be affecting a railroad’s safety performance and operational excellence.

To answer that need, the Short Line Safety Institute partnered with SmartForce to develop Leading Forward – Skills Development for Railroad Professionals, a multi-day, highly interactive course, designed for up-and-coming and experienced railroad managers who are interested in improving their leadership skills.
Attendees will leave with new skills including:

      • providing effective communication
      • delivering constructive feedback
      • managing agreements
      • coaching
      • building high performance teams

SLSI provides training at a railroad location, or employees can join us at a regional training. Training is provided free of charge.

Now is the time to ensure your leaders are confident and effective. Contact us to learn more or schedule an event.
