This week on The Firefighter Training Podcast B/C John Cagno (Ret.) and I discuss five leadership books and how they can apply or relate to the fire service.
The Leadership Challenge – James Kouzes and Barry Posner
This week The Firefighter Training Podcast looks at occupancies once again and talks about large renovated or retrofitted facilities that may have been manufacturing at one point and are now storage and or something else. The sheer size and square footage can easily overwhelm many department’s resources.
The panel will discuss all aspects of recruit training. Are we teaching the right subjects? What topics are we teaching? How much practical versus classroom theory? Are we teaching values and culture? More importantly than all of that how can we make it better. The panel may also discuss effective methods for teaching certain topics.
Watch us here or watch live on YOUTUBE and join us in the Live Chat room to interact with the panel.
This week The Firefighter Training Podcast talks about command teams. Specifically how to properly staff the command function at an incident. Chief Woolery is from San Diego gives his perspective and we also talk about how this could work in smaller departments and systems.
