Fire Service Leadership “The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly” Two-Day Workshop

While we certainly have good individual leaders in the fire service, most agencies lack effective, in-house, dynamic leadership training. With the generation and cultural gaps widening, and our experienced leaders retiring at a geometric rate, a leadership pandemic is sweeping the American fire service (See Fire Engineering Article). The result is increased litigation, liability, and gross inefficiency. In addition, ineffectiveness and tarnished public trust are just some of the results of this enormous problem.

This training is geared toward what excellent leaders are - and are not. We focus on the challenges facing today’s leaders, whether a front-line company officer, battalion chief, or fire chief.

Real, credible case studies are discussed that deal with all facets of leadership: Keys to real world motivation, goal setting, the “Old Salt”, the “Baby Boomer”, the “X/Y” generations, the “Millennial”, “Gen Z”, the “Recliner Sniper”, cultural differences, effective communications, time management, problem solving, conflict resolution, risk management, empowerment, delegation, the “Oreo” factor, customer service, technology, succession planning, personal baggage and many others.

Leadership is a word often used in the world today but rarely seen. This 16-hour workshop throws out the book on technical jargon and antiquated theory and dives into highly engaging, useful audience-participative training that makes for sustainable change and operations that are more safe, effective, efficient, and consistent, while reducing liability and conflict.

Participation in this training is voluntary. Overtime and training slots are not authorized for attendance. Seating is limited, and early registration is strongly suggested.
