2020 Virginia Fire + Rescue Conference

Managing for Success: What I Wish I'd Known (Room 1D)

21 Feb 20
8:00 AM - 9:45 AM

Tracks: Chief Officer

Are you a new or aspiring senior fire service executive? By sharing some lessons learned and a few "how tos" through interactive lecture and discussion, let's talk management instead of leadership for a change. It may not be as inspiring, but excellent management skills are a critical, yet often overlooked facet of executive-level leadership. Topics covered will include: time and task management, prioritization and scheduling, communicating the business case both verbally and in writing, crisis management and numerous others. With a focus on how to get things done while juggling the dynamic demands of a public safety agency, operational and budgetary pressures and while remaining connected to your people, this session is a must for improving productivity and effectiveness.
