Leadership and Managment
As officers, there are things that we want our firefighters to know, and certain expectations that we have for their performance. The same is true of our firefighters’ expectations of us. The presentation will include a review and discussion of a simple social media survey that the speaker conducted, answering the questions “As a firefighter, what is the one thing you wish your officer knew?” and “As an officer, what is the one thing you wish your firefighters knew?”. Humorous, yet informative, correlations will be drawn between the two, developing a mutual understanding of the areas of understanding we should focus on in establishing trust and understanding between the ranks. The goal is to provide additional perspective in employee and supervisor interactions and relationships to those in and preparing to be in leadership positions.
