System 1 is fast and intuitive. It is also careless. We notice what is salient and overlook what is silent. The quote reminds leaders that confidence is a poor proxy for accuracy. Amos Tversky showed how framing shapes choice. Richard Thaler demonstrated how context can nudge behavior without altering options. Leaders assume they are missing signals.

System 2 is slow, deliberate, and needed when the stakes rise. Build processes that force System 2 to intervene. Use premortems, base rates, and checklists. Invite a disagreeing partner to map alternative narratives. Cass Sunstein teaches simple choice architecture that reveals bias before it bites. Annie Duke recommends probabilities over absolutes to prevent certainty traps.

Leaders can institutionalize seeing more by slowing decisions, sharing data widely, and rehearsing dissent. Run small experiments that test predictions. Track calibration so confidence matches accuracy. Reward the colleague who changes their mind when evidence shifts. Over time, the organization becomes less dazzled by the obvious and less blind to its own blindness.

Slow one decision, run a premortem, invite dissent, test predictions, and reward mind changes today publicly.

Crews with the Maricopa County Department of Transportation began replacing the Broadway Road bridges over the Tempe Canal today, just east of Loop 101. The project consolidates two aging 1966 spans into one modern bridge and launches in coordination with the Salt River Project dry-up schedule to shorten construction time and reduce impacts.

Traffic will remain open with one lane westbound and two lanes eastbound as crews build in four phases, one half at a time. Pedestrian and bicycle travel along Broadway will continue through a protected walkway, but the Tempe Canal path between Southern Avenue and Apache Boulevard will be closed for the duration.

Partners from the City of Mesa and the City of Tempe are coordinating access for schools, emergency services, and nearby businesses. Work is expected to last seven to eight months, with completion targeted for April 2026. Drivers should expect lane shifts and additional travel time while the new structure is being constructed.

Colorado has just unveiled a statewide building code that promotes energy-efficient and all-electric-ready homes without mandating gas bans. The Colorado Energy Office published the Model Low Energy and Carbon Code and set it as the minimum standard starting July 1, 2026. Director Will Toor said the rules balance climate goals and affordability while targeting the biggest houses for deeper savings.

The board tailored the 2024 IECC rules and added tiered targets. Homes under 5,000 square feet meet a base level. Those above 7,500 square feet must cover total energy use with rooftop solar or community power. Senior advisor Adam Berry said amenity loads, such as pools and snow-melt systems, drive the stricter tier. Heat pump parity is built in, so gas and electric designs compete on equal terms.

Builders led by Ted Leighty warn that higher standards raise prices and slow supply. Christine Brinker of the Southwest Energy Efficiency Project counters that monthly bills will fall and comfort will improve. Local plan desks and trade partners are now preparing training and spec updates for next summer.

Introduction
Good morning, Team! Today’s toolbox talk covers suspension trauma, what happens after a fall is arrested, and a worker hangs in a harness.

Why It Matters
Hanging motionless restricts blood return from the legs, which can lead to fainting, shock, and cardiac complications. A safe, rapid rescue and correct after‑care are critical.

Strategies for Rescue Readiness

Discussion Questions

Conclusion
Fall protection saves the fall; rescue planning saves the worker. Preplan, stage gear, drill, and respond decisively.

Plan the rescue before the work.
