| The guiding philosophy of STAR model is to propagate situational leadership, where the role and accountability are clearly defined. |
| STAR is participatory in nature and involves shop floor employees in solving problems and bringing about continuous improvement at their workstations. The uniqueness of the model is that it encourages employees to bring about these improvements in functions outside their core areas. |

| Roles and Responsibilities of a Star Cap |

They undergo intensive training in safety and is awarded a Star Cap at the end of the training. |
