Leading up to FDIC2019 and our Pre-Conference Workshop titled Extreme Leadership – Building High Performance Teams on Tuesday April 9th, 2019, let’s talk about one of the most challenging leadership encounters… that of having to deal with the bully-type individual.
It seems in my travels a lot of good fire departments are slowly being…

Great leaders know they simply can’t get anything done without people... And those who do it well know they can get more done by who they know, than what they think they know. So leading up to our pre-conference workshop at the FDIC2019, here is some food for thought on fixing a dysfunctional fire department culture.
As a leader in an organization regardless of the color of your helmet, you must evaluate you and your officers ability to positively engage and influence those in your…

One of the biggest challenges for any professional educator is how to stay up to date with the latest ways to engage and motivate fire service students for positive behavioral modification. Most of us understand that one size fits all training, in the fire service doesn’t engage everybody. But, is it bigger than that? Depending on your audience’s intelligence map (which is personality based for each student in the fire service) they can greatly differ in learning styles. For example some…

Whether you are leading them or teaching them, let’s get one thing straight Generation Z are NOT Millennials. They are currently about 1/5th of the workforce and rapidly growing. They were born after 1995, therefore they are under the age of 24. FETC Services has focused a lot of leadership training on understanding Millennials in the firehouse but now it’s…

Billy, I think I've got two log ins, so hope I don't confuse myself too! Where's those "Y" kids when you need them ! ( to fix your computers, and figure out what all the buttons are on the phones!) Rick - Assessment Centers
Most of the instructors are local, but they do bring in outside guys too. They typically pay a set fee and reimburse or pay for travel and lodging. The winter school is all lecture and it is usually a pretty goo crowd. There is an expo on Friday and class sessions all day Saturday and the morning of Sunday. It's a good time. Some outside guys they have had include Dave Dodson, John Mittendorf, Forrest Reeder, Bobby Halton, and many more. I think it be worth a submission.
Thanks for the add and let me know if you have more questions. I can also give you the email of the coordinator if your interested.
Take care,
Jason
Bill,
You should consider submitting one of your classes for the Missouri Fire School. They are always looking for new content. Here is the link to submit: http://www.mufrti.org/conf/fireschool.asp
Take care,

Sorry I missed your show last Friday I was traveling to Boston and got jammed up by American Airlines. I never did make it to Boston after 12 hours of nonsense and had to return home. I sure would like to visit with you on the radio as I find your opinions and thoughts to be extremely provocative and insightful. I apologize again for missing your show and look forward to joining you on your next show.
Your friend Bobby
Bill:
Welcome to the best of the best.
We have a meeting on Wednesday to discuss schedules and such.
I will let you know more after that, but it looks like I will be moving over here for blog talk as well.
That will give me the total FE package.
Then, I got to break the news to the FirefighterNetcast boys.
