Now is the time to invest in your firefighters and officers. When critical decisions which are made in the blink of an eye can determine the outcome of lives, it is vital to take training to the core.

The objectives for the classes include:

- Illustrate an "Intoxicated" leader; Discuss the disadvantages of creating a highly emotionally-charged workplace
Where We Come From: Preserving and Influencing Organizational Culture:

- Understand how culture informally approves or disapproves of employee behavior.
- Illustrate the importance of mission and values to leadership in coaching, counseling, and predicting conflict.
- Identify the difference between internal and external culture. How does each affect organizational recruitment and retention?
- Review leadership case study involving a large urban department on the East coast. Identify conflict themes within the agency and with stakeholders.
- Recognize and implement change when traditions are becoming unhealthy or irrelevant to an organization.
