Organizational Leadership At Every Level - Division Chief Dave Hageman

How do our daily habits, attitudes, and actions influence our performance, and the organization around us?

High performance develops through how we prepare, respond to challenges, support one another, and follow through on our responsibilities. Whether we are probationary firefighters, experienced crew members, company officers, or chief officers, each of us contributes to that environment.

Drawing on performance psychology, research, and experiences in the military, athletics, and fire service, Chief Hageman will explore three connected areas: developing ourselves, strengthening our teams, and contributing to a higher-performing organization.

Through discussion and practical examples, participants will examine personal ownership, motivation, confidence, and accountability, including how to sustain professionalism and contribute positively when circumstances or organizational support fall short of expectations.

Designed for all ranks, this class invites participants to consider what they can influence today, how their behavior shapes crew culture, and how everyday leadership can support lasting organizational improvement.

The goal: Develop yourself, strengthen those around you, and contribute to an organization that performs consistently and supports its people.
