From Buddy to Boss: Effective Fire Service Leadership
Description
Whether you’re a new officer or in need of a mentor, From Buddy to Boss:
Effective Fire Service Leadership, is a must-have management book you’ll turn
to over and over again. Fire service veteran Chase Sargent has taken his
popular course and written a no-holds-barred leadership book for the fire
service in a conversational and easy-to-read style. He tells you how to accept
and survive politics, deal with the fringe employees, and keep your cool —
tricks of the trade that usually take years to acquire. In this book you’ll
learn: • Your credibility is a valuable currency that takes time to build up.
What you do, not what you say, is the ultimate test of your credibility,
reinforcing your expectations. • That leadership requires individuals and
organizations to create an environment where people and their ideas can
thrive. • How to use stories to impress upon our new members the necessity of
doing certain things. • That the quickest ways to lose trust are to
inconsistently apply and enforce rules and to allow your personal feelings to
dictate what you will and won’t enforce. • Why leading by example and from the
front — doing, not saying — is critical to your success. Reading From Buddy
to Boss is like turning to a trusted friend for wisdom and advice you can
count on to improve your job performance. Use this book to master your
leadership as well as your management skills and successfully make the
transition to boss. Read more
