Joined once again by Chief Rick Lasky. It has been a few years since he has been on the Scrap and it was another amazing, episode with him. We talked about how to build that culture of pride and ownership. Of course when you talk to Chief Lasky you know we are going to get a dose of where we came from, and understanding the "why." And as always the best laid plans of me and the guest are almost always beautifully derailed by the audience and their wonderful questions, and I look forward to it once more.

Chief Dennis Reilly and Jason Hoevelmann discuss leadership for firefighters and fire officers specifically regarding being a consistent leader and officer using the Leadership Triad. It comes downs to a strong moral compass and the firm foundation based on ethics and doing what's right. THE MORAL & ETHICAL OBLIGATIONS OF BEING AN OFFICER: Your decisions and actions need to be driven by your own moral compass Your compass needs to be in line with that of the organization There should be no question where you stand among your subordinates, your peers, and your superiors. Moral & ethically driven people bring consistency and stability to their work place. EXPECTATIONS: If you do not lay out your expectations there is no guarantee on what you will get Expectations need to be in writing, invest the time now to avoid the “Well I didn’t know what you wanted” in the future. At the task level positions, expectations need to center around tasks, at leadership positons expectations need to include attitudes & behaviors. MODELING: You will get what you display as your normal operating mode What you model is the future for your organization. As an officer, you have a Moral & Ethical Obligation to leave your organization better than what you found it. Chief Lasky once aid “Follow ugly kids home and you will find ugly parents”. What you model is what they will do when you are not around. ACCOUNTABILITY: This can be quite uncomfortable but as an officer you must be comfortable with being uncomfortable. You have a Moral & Ethical obligation to correct unsatisfactory or counterproductive behaviors. We didn’t promote you because you look good, we expect you to do your job. If you fail to hold your members accountable there is a good chance that your boss will hold you accountable. In some organizations, this is known as “failure to supervise” and can lead to demotion and/or termination.
