Leadership Development Training
That Strengthens Safety Culture.

Based the data from years of completed Safety Culture Assessments, leadership development was identified as an area of opportunity to continuously improve safety culture. To answer that need, the SLSI has developed a highly interactive program designed for new and experienced railroad managers that care deeply about their mission and their teams but lack formal training in leadership skills.

This program was designed to be energetic using a combination of roleplay, self-assessment, and group discussion, and is appropriate for new and experienced managers.  Topics include effective communication, delivering constructive feedback, managing to agreement, coaching, building high performing teams, and giving credit.

Leadership Development Training is provided at no cost to short line railroads and can be tailored to a single railroad or a broader group.

This course provides short lines with timely, effective and well-targeted training, helping managers evolve more quickly as effective leaders in safety and operations, resulting in a stronger safety culture and improved safety performance. This is a foundational course that every short line railroad supervisor should strongly consider completing.
