!['"8 Traits Great Firefighters Share"
By: David Soler
After years of study and interviewing literally hundreds of great firefighters, leaders and thought leaders in the fire service, here are the top eight characteristics of the "Best of the best", from the “World's Bravest”:
Firefighters who become great firefighters practice these characteristics…
1. They expect success
2. They have a clear plan
3. They work hard
4. They are teachable and a life-long students
5. They exercise self-control, persistence and delayed gratification
6. They are accountable
7. They surround themselves with great firefighters
8. They appreciate the past and the present
Join in making the fire service better by reminding yourself of these characteristics you already posses and incorporating the ones you need to.
It starts with you... and me.
Let's be the change we want to see in the fire service.
Let's be the example of how to be a great firefighter and leader.
