We exist to serve, and we serve as members of teams. Our teams have leaders. The cadence to which the team performs is primarily due to the leaders' expectations set forth preemptively. Leaders must motivate, be 'in the fight,' and look to improve the well-being of the team to best carry out the mission. Let’sdelve into leadership, from mindset to motivation, tactics to training. A journey of lessons learned from our successes and failures in the firehouse and on the fireground.
