Young Leaders in Today’s Fire Service
Posted on Leatherhead Mafia 1 day ago
This article was intended to be “Young Officers in Today’s Fire Service”, but in writing it I have come to realize that it should not matter if you are an officer, you can still lead. A leader can be anyone from the oldest Chief to the youngest junior member. I want to focus on the young leaders in today’s fire service. It seems young leaders are becoming more common, and the disdain is growing. I am also witnessing these young “leaders” act like more of a boss, which is not how it should be.
