Investigation
Task Force (FITF)
The following Regional classes are scheduled for 2008:
Leading with Attitude
Region 9 Fire –Rescue Training
Presents
“Leading with Attitude”
Presented by Division Chief Eddie Buchanan
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Go to just about any fire station and you’ll likely hear someone talking about how it used to be. They talk about the values and work ethic they had when they came on the job, back when the mission was clear and the company officer was king. This program will explore how we, as individuals, can help ensure our departments are on track and ways we can truly make a difference in our organization, regardless of rank.
The Leading with Attitude program is a nameless and rankless “gut check” into how we contribute to the fire service. The program offers tangible ways we can improve our job for today and for future generations. The course calls “us” out to be part of the problem or part of the solution!
The program will also explore the concept of loyalty alignment. What does it mean to be a good follower without becoming a “yes man”? Each of us are empowered to make positive change, but we must accept that responsibility and take charge of our lives!
