The closest distance between two points is a straight line. Achievement is not arriving at the solution; it is the journey and overcoming the obstacles to achieve a successful outcome. In the fire service, getting from point “A” to point “B” is a challenge on some emergency incident scenes, especial critical incidents. Firefighters are faced with challenges around the fire station and challenges in the administrative arena. Point to point leadership provides fundamental principles that identify the challenges facing fire service leaders; and offers a step by step process to manage difficult situations and incidents. Leaders possess the ability to get from point to point in the most expeditious route, but not necessarily in a straight line. Obstacles, variables, and predictable influences are ever present and this class will teach you to understand, predict and manage the obstacles on the emergency incident scene. Over the course of his career, the presenter has gained wisdom; has failed as a leader; has followed as a leader; and has led. The instructor hopes to share information that will provide future fire service leaders with the principals to succeed on the critical incident scene.
