The Lost Leadership Handbook: The Lessons They Forgot To Pass On
Description
Many of us want to lead, but only some get real leadership training before getting the jobs. Oftentimes, we stumble into the job by default or a popular vote. And too frequently, those who had the job before fail to pass on the key leadership lessons that guided them. Before taking the job, few realize today’s leaders are part camp counselor, part divorce counselor, and part psychologist, all while being an EMS tactician. Doing this in a volunteer setting makes it even more challenging. This class will explore what officers need to lead today’s EMS organization successfully.
