2020 Virginia Fire + Rescue Conference

"Not by the book leadership"Bridging the gap through action. (Room 3AB)

In this session students will have an open and interactive discussion on what it takes for a leader, either formal or informal, to develop crew cohesiveness, an environment of accountability, and advance personal and professional growth. We will cast off the idea that everyone can be lead the same way or that there are such vast generational differences that the tradition of the fire service is waning. We will tackle the "Buddy to Boss" concept and how a bit of outside the box thinking can change the environment in your fire house.
