How can you improve the way your organisation handles turbulence?
How do you get your people on the same flight path?
What if you could reduce the number of errors made at your workplace by half?
The aviation industry can provide the answers to these questions, and more. Flying commercial aircraft is complex with little room for error. Over the past 40 years, the aviation industry has developed ways to make commercial aviation safe - so much so that the most dangerous part
of flying on a commercial aircraft is getting to and from the airport.
One of the key ways the aviation industry has achieved this is through the implementation of 'human factors' programs. In aviation, people's lives depend on humans working effectively together to optimise performance, manage risk and respond effectively to changing environments. Yes, technology is critical, but how humans work together is the biggest driver of organisational success. Humans make the big decisions, determine and
implement strategy, and combine their collective wisdom to overcome challenges and make change happen - or not.
This book reveals the simple practices and positive lessons that have emerged from the aviation industry, and shows how these can be adapted and adopted in other industries and organisations - including your own.
The Human Factor explores:
• Human fallibility and why 'errorism' is an unavoidable part of our everyday existence
• How leadership style and teamwork impact human performance
• How you can get your people on the same page and heading in the same direction
• How you can optimise human capacity in your organisation to reduce error, optimise performance and build organisational resilience

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
