Are all firefighters bullies?
That’s the question that Pete Wakefield, host of The Firefighters Podcast, put to me to kick off a wide-ranging discussion on the thorny topic of workplace incivility, bullying and harassment in UK Fire and Rescue services.
I was delighted to have been invited to contribute as a guest and you can hear our discussion about bullying, sexism and the relationship between workplace culture and high-performing teams in episode 296.
Pete’s podcast is a weekly show and, if you have haven’t heard it before, has a range of inspirational guest interviews covering a variety of topics.
It’s of specialist interest to firefighters, but many of the episodes cover other topics such as leadership, health and wellbeing and personal interviews with the courageous people who stand at the front line for the rest of us when we need their help.
