In Episode 318 of the Safety Leadership Collective, former pro basketball player Josh Young takes us from the hardwood to the workplace, sharing powerful lessons about leadership, behavior, culture, and trust. Josh brings a unique perspective on how leadership, environment, and belief shape behavior and culture. Great safety leadership isn’t just about policies or outcomes. It’s about what leaders demonstrate every day.
Demonstrate the values you want to see
Create an environment where people feel safe to speak up
Put people at the center of decisions
Pay attention to daily behaviors, not just results
Build trust by encouraging honest conversations about risk
The connection between the basketball court and the workplace may be stronger than you think. Every team has a culture. Every leader helps shape it. And every decision can #influence what happens next.
Tune in to Episode 318: “Beyond the Court: What Basketball Teaches Us About Safety Leadership.”
