Leadership and Managment
The primary focus of this session is to assist future or current fire officers (company and chief) prepare for and survive the challenges of their position. If you are fortunate to have the opportunity to serve as a leader, consider yourself lucky – however, don’t forget the significant responsibility that comes with such a critical role! As a fire officer (Fire Chief all the way down the chain of command to Lieutenant) in today's fire service, you must possess “Courage Under Fire” and continuously aspire to be the best leader you can be. The saying, “If I only knew then what I knew now,” is the focus of this session. Current topics affecting the fire service, as well as personal lessons learned (some the hard way), will be shared and discussed. Attendees, regardless of rank or the type of department they serve at, will leave with numerous tips for leadership success.
