The Missing Link of Professional Development: This course addresses the largest gap of fire service development; initial certification to first promotion. The fire service has become overly focused on educating current and prospective officers and chiefs on leadership, yet has failed to prepare our newest, most influential members how to survive our firehouses once they join a company and what to expect during their transition from probation to promotion. The goal of this program is to groom our future leaders to be successful followers first. This course is centered around followership, enthusiasm, early appreciation of fundamental skills, and enjoying the unique perspective and rewards that can only be enjoyed as a junior member. From the first-year firefighter to the 30-year chief, all members will find strategies in this course to make a solid foundation of fundamental concepts in their department!
