Started to read this book with high expectations. I stumbled upon it by searching criticism on the bogus claims of Dupont and their Bradley curve. Long had written a blogpost on that so, I thought that this was finally someone who knows how to manage safety culture and has the necessary background on it.
I started reading and was at the beginning confirmed that this might be the right book when he started by naming all the myths around safety en by his statement dat a culture change has to be managed by means of social psychology (of course, what else).
When I read some quite positive positions concerning Freud (who was a conman), I forgave him, it was not essential in the global story.
But on page 112 he starts naming "A range of qualitative analysis tools" which are embedded in his "iRI" method. He names: "Myers-Briggs Type Indicator analysis" and "DiSC analysis". Two bogus tools.
If he doesn't knwo that MBTI and DiSC do not belong to any evidence model, then he doesn't know what he is talking about.
Here I stopped spending my time reading this book. I recommend you not to start reading it.
I'm disappointed. Safety in industry is such an important issue. Is there anybody who can recommend me some reading about it that is based on sound evidence?
