Leadership 2X4's Have you been Hit Lately?

from Devon Wells and Firefighter Nation

“Leadership 2 x 4s” are those occurrences where something is brought to your attention about a lack of, or deficiency in, your leadership practices. These can be some of the most difficult wake-up calls you get. Most people in leadership positions take pride in their actions. But when you find out that your actions or decisions have had the opposite impact you were planning on, it creates stress and anxiety.

This is an article for Assistant Chief Amber Cline and Battalion Chief Tyler Untz for the Advanced Studies Class in Fire Service Operations and Leadership.  Read the article and you will see why it is for Asst. Chief Cline.  

Mike Coffey a Captain with High Point Fire Department and owner of Fire and Safety Consultants of Clemmons, NC visits the Concord High School Fire Academy on Wednesday March 27, 2013.  

Also visiting was Tiffany Foster Mike's Daughter and one of the Fire and Safety Consultants Staff.  

The plan is to offer a National Fire Academy Leadership Class in the near future for interested recruits of the Concord High School Fire Academy as well as other interested parties.

Thanks for your excellent visit and support.
Chief Barlow
