Episode 20 - Critical team
Show Notes
Pia and Dan are joined by Martin Bromiley OBE, airline captain, charity trustee, and public speaker whose story of loss has fuelled much of the work he does today. In 2005, Martin’s wife Elaine was admitted to hospital following an emergency that occurred while she was under anaesthetic. During the investigation into her death, Martin identified that Elaine’s death was due to failures in the way the surgical staff operated as a cohesive team. Now, using his experience within aviation, he works with organisations to help teams get things right in critical situations.
Takeaways from Dan and Pia
- If your team can’t communicate across a hierarchy, you risk fragmentation.
- If you can anticipate that there will be challenges, you can help calm your inner chimp.
- Asking open questions help you to learn, not just those junior to you.
