9:00 AM – 10:30 AM
Intentional leadership is the foundation for success within an organization, on the fire ground, or when building relationships. From the bay floor to the battalion car, leadership will rise or fall based on investment in the little details. This class takes an in-depth look at what it means to be detailed with your people, and your profession. It will look at how good leadership can translate into aggressive tactics on the fire ground. Qualities of a good leader, how to deal with your people, and supporting the mission of the fire service are topics that will be discussed. To win on the fire ground we must be able to lead in the firehouse.
