Most arise from system problems and not individual behaviors
– The majority have NO malicious intent
– Bad things happen to good people
Policies are already in place but not alwaysfollowed
– The core issue in drift
Importance of Learning Opportunities and recognizing exemplary behavior (Good Catches)
– Constructive vs. Destructive
– Second victim- usually the biggest advocate
– It is HOW we react to errors that determines whether we LEARN from them.
