IS THIS YOUR ORGANISATION?
You have done everything the system told you to do, and it still did not stop the event, and now you are accountable for a gap you never saw.
Safety, quality or operational performance has stalled despite established systems and processes
Non-conformance, rework or operating costs are increasing
Regulatory pressure is exposing gaps between policy and day-to-day execution
Leadership priorities are not consistently translating to frontline action
Processes have become too complex, weakening ownership and accountability
People are less willing to raise concerns, challenge decisions or speak openly about risk

about CLAUS ROSE
Leadership That Drives Sustainable Operational Performance.
Claus Rose is a Business and Executive Coach based in Hamburg, working with leaders across the energy and manufacturing sectors.
With more than 35 years of experience, including senior roles at GE and Siemens, Claus has led complex transformation initiatives in safety, quality, and operational performance across highly regulated environments.
He works with executives and leadership teams to address the underlying issues that limit performance, from leadership misalignment and over-complex processes to weak accountability and cultural disconnect. His focus is clear: simplify systems, strengthen leadership, and create sustainable improvement in safety, quality, and business performance.
“On a personal note, I’d like to say that the coaching strategies outlined in this book are quite relevant outside the QEHS sector, and I’ve experienced many ‘aha’ moments while reading—thinking of my field, education. In this case, the office executives are replaced by senior administration, and the frontline workers are the teachers. I’ve worn both shoes, so your words resonate on many levels.”
Matthew Krasner — Editor
“Hello Claus, after yesterday’s conference I’ve already read your book, and honestly every leader should read it. I will pass it to my team and all the leads around.”
Nina Wolnik — Factory S&H Manager, Nestlé
HARD-WON LESSONS LEADING BEYOND COMPLIANCE
What Changed First Was Me
Most enterprise safety programs fail because of a critical perception gap between executive boardrooms and operational frontlines. Drawing on more than 25 years leading QEHS transformations at Siemens and GE, Claus Rose provides a battle-tested, behavioral framework that replaces bureaucratic compliance theater with genuine psychological safety, trust, and zero-harm execution.
Why humans make 3 to 6 mistakes per hour: and why punishment only drives hazards underground
The 66-day rule for enduring, measurable culture change
How to permanently bridge the perception gap between executive leadership and the shop floor
Why 47-page risk assessments generate administrative illusion instead of genuine safety
The financial business case that turns cost-conscious CFOs into active safety champions
How predictive AI is converting safety organizations from reactive triage to pre-emptive prevention
The operational CARE framework: Courage, Adaptability, Relationships, and Empathy
This book is for:
- C-Suite Executives & Operations Directors seeking sustainable performance beyond vanity compliance
- QEHS Leaders determined to replace regulatory paperwork with predictive, trust-based systems
- Plant Managers & Operations Supervisors looking for human-centered communication tools that work
- Corporate Board Members requiring proactive risk governance that protects both staff and enterprise value
