Just Culture: Restoring Trust and Accountability
Dekker, Sidney W. A. Just Culture: Restoring Trust and Accountability in Your Organization. 3rd ed. Boca Raton, FL: CRC Press, 2016.
Why this matters here
In Just Culture, Dekker argues that organizations restore learning only when accountability distinguishes acceptable risk-taking from culpable harm—so people can report and correct without automatic punishment. When Others Look to You translates that into harm-absorbing leadership: those with decision power take on part of the cost, acknowledge error early, and shield people closest to avoidable fallout. Dekker’s framework ties trust to fair accountability; the book asks how authority stays visible as linked to consequence.
