  • Abstract
    To discuss the differences between normal leadership and great leadership as it pertains to the development and implementation of a world class electrical safety program. The classic and latest thoughts from some of the world´s foremost proponents of outstanding leadership principles will be used as the basis for this paper. These concepts will be used to describe how outstanding or great leadership is required to not only develop and implement a best in class electrical safety program but very importantly how to ensure its sustainability in the long term regardless of who is in charge. This leadership can be found anywhere in the organization. The importance of Health & Safety Managed Systems as a template and roadmap for great leaders will be emphasized.
