Leading and creating opportunities for others is immensely rewarding, yet it can also be highly frustrating, especially when managing unengaged, unmotivated, or disgruntled individuals in the firehouse. While the fire service excels in training leaders for the fireground, it often lacks comprehensive strategies for addressing complex personnel issues back at the station, leaving leaders to figure it out as they go. This class aims to fill that gap by delving into the critical role of understanding and regulating human emotions in leadership effectiveness. Learn practical strategies and actionable tactics to navigate the challenging emotional dynamics encountered both in high-stakes fireground situations and everyday firehouse interactions. Whether you are an aspiring leader or a seasoned veteran, this course will equip you with the insights and tools needed to enhance your leadership skills. Leave this session informed, motivated, and ready to foster a positive, engaged, and high-performing team.
