Event Description:
Courage Under Fire Leadership, presented by Speaker Chief Steve Prziborowski, is intended for all ranks of fire service professionals, especially current and aspiring fire officers (company and chief). If you’re a firefighter or engineer, you may think you are not a leader – nothing could be further from the truth. If you’re already an officer, you realize how challenging leadership can be, especially in today’s fire service.
Do you have what it takes?
Do you have what it takes to be a great fire service professional of any rank in the year 2024 and more importantly beyond? Situations anyone in the fire service (firefighter up to fire chief) may face today can have severe consequences to the positive image of the fire service, their career, or the careers of those they lead or follow. If you are an officer, and you want to be everyone’s buddy, or never want to be “that person” when it comes to being the designated adult, then this session may not be for you. However, if you’re willing to be the follower and leader you took the oath for when accepting the position (even as a firefighter and engineer), you will find some value to the information being discussed.
Leadership or Follower-ship Crisis?
Some may say we have a leadership crisis in today’s fire service, not to mention the World. I feel that we also have a follower-ship crisis. For an agency, organization, or fire department to be successful, leadership and followership are both required. As a fire service professional and especially as a leader in today’s fire service, one must possess “Courage Under Fire” and continuously aspire to be the best you can be! Current topics affecting the fire service, events that have occurred to the fire service (good and not-so-good), as well as personal lessons learned (some the hard way), will be shared and discussed in a positive and productive manner. Attendees will be exposed to and can leave with numerous tips for leadership success!
Topics to be shared and discussed can include but are not limited to:
- Courage Under Fire Leadership – Being the best Fire Service Professional you can be!
- Personal Leadership – It Starts With Us!
- Fire Officer Leadership Lessons Learned AFTER Getting the Badge
- Preventing Career and/or Life Altering Events
