Aligning Mission-Driven Organizations with Mission-Driven Leaders

"Safety First" - A New Motto For All

Today, no longer is “Safety First” a motto reserved for organizations who have to ensure safety on the workplace floor. Amidst the global pandemic, this motto has taken on a completely new meaning – now all leaders have had to adopt the “Safety First” mindset in order to protect the health of their teams and organization. Alison Cowan, Director of Global Learning & Executive Coach at Brunswick Corporation, the world's leading recreational Marine manufacturer, shares how Brunswick has expanded this motto beyond the manufacturing plant floor, while continuing to support the learning and development of their leaders and teams virtually.

This episode marks the last episode of Season One of The Edge. We look forward to returning soon with new guests and stories as we continue the conversation on learning and development in the workplace. Stay tuned for Season Two coming soon, and until then, be well.
