Leadership Lessons: Are Your Leaders Acting like Parents or Substitute Teachers?
Posted on Rescue Digest 19 hours ago
The chief emphasized that he didn't mean that all of his people were acting like children, although the look in his eye implied that maybe some were. I wasn't suggesting anything about the maturity of his people, but rather that parents don't stop being parents when their children grow up. In fact, this is exactly what I meant by helping agency leaders acting like parents rather than substitute teachers.

Young Leaders in Today’s Fire Service
Posted on Leatherhead Mafia 2 days 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.
