Posted By Merv Newman Hi Dom, good to see you are still watching. To others : I would strongly recommend that you take advantage of his (free) offer rather than that of Mr quilley, which is purely commercial. So I'm a behaviouralist. So I've got 3 decades of practical work in safety. I just haven't found time to write a book. Merv (I really must get that compost spread this morning)

Posted By Paul M69 Anthony, Bringing Out the Best in People: How to Apply the Astonishing Power of Positive Reinforcement By Aubrey C Daniels Great stuff. Paul.

Posted By Alan D. Quilley Thanks for the comments. No need to apologize. I'm not against Behaviouralists...some of them are actually quite nice and very clever!(Big Smile). I've had the pleasure of working with a few of them. Dan Petersen and Aubrey C. Daniels taught me a great deal about human behaviour. Human behaviour is no mystery to anyone who looks into the subject so it's not surprising that all of these approaches are similar. I must be showing my age...I thought everyone across the pond would know Denis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Quilley Best Regards Alan D. Quilley CRSP

Posted By Dominic Cooper Hi Anthony You may be interested to know that I have a new book on behavioural safety coming out in September. It provides a summary of the most recent research and provides a clear route plan for implementation. It is aimed at managers and is not written in an'academic'style. Though it draws on research it is based on my past 20 years practical experience of 'doing' in a multitude of industries. Behavioral Safety: A Framework for Success. By Dominic Cooper Ph.D. Foreword by Terry E McSween Ph.D. There is more info if you click on the hyperlink http://www.behavioral-sa.../cgi/update.pl?page=book

Posted By Kieran J Duignan Your question, 'can anybody recommend any good books on influencing behavioural change?', didn't actually specify that change is necessarily limited to 'safety'. There is a fair amount of evidence that those opposed or resistant to change don't limit their opposition to change in the sphere of safety at work. So, it's worth considering reading some of the best literature on coaching about behaviural change, such as that by Marshall Goldsmith, or in the UK, the Handbook on Coaching Psychology, edited by Palmer and Whybrow; and on personality and intelligence at wsork, such as the review by Adrian Furnham, as well as 'Personality and the Fate of Organisations' by Robert Hogan.
