35. Leadership Q&A
Wednesday, 31 December, 2025
The conversation begins with an introduction to the podcast and personal updates on promotions. It then delves into leadership principles, addressing toxicity in the firehouse, building and protecting a positive culture, and leading firefighters who are more experienced or older. Throughout the discussion, the importance of influence, intentionality, and understanding the crew is emphasized. The conversation covers the approach of new company officers, common leadership mistakes, handling disagreements with company officers, mentoring probies and younger firefighters, and measuring influence while building relationships. Key takeaways include the importance of building influence through authenticity and the pitfalls of leadership based on perception rather than character.To win one of the two books be the first two people to share this episode and tag @TailboardMediaCo.
