The authors of a new book take this line of thinking one step further, arguing that safety is essential to overall business success. This Compliance Report features questions and answers with Brian Fielkow, who coauthored with James Schultz Leading People Safely: How to Win on the Business Battlefield. The subtitle of the book, (to be published in early September and available on Amazon.com), is A Roadmap to Empowering Your Team and Growing Your Bottom Line.
A former corporate attorney, Fielkow is currently CEO of Jetco Delivery, Inc., a Houston-based trucking and logistics company. Fielkow is also a nationally recognized safety and corporate culture advisor.
