There's a big difference between "speaking up" & "calling out". This is so relevant in the context of building psychological safety & addressing issues & concerns within teams. ‘Speak up’ cultures enable people to get under the surface of issues; to feel & be heard. ‘Call out’ cultures shut down open & honest communication, breeding fear & discontent. When things go wrong, there's often a knee jerk reaction towards fault finding. Stepping back from this & instead focusing on finding solutions supports growth & development of people & systems.

Last night, Firefighters from #Cardiff Central Station attended a deliberate rubbish fire in #StMellons and came under attack from people throwing rocks at them.

Is someone you know lighting deliberate fires❓

Please respect our emergency workers.

[Scottish Fire and Rescue Service – Your Safety @SFRSYourSafety]

In an e-bike/e-scooter battery fire don’t try to put the fire out. GET OUT, STAY OUT, CALL 999.
The fire can be ferocious & keep reigniting. Burning battery vapours are toxic, can spread quickly & cut off escape routes.
