Transitioning as a new officer can be one of the most difficult things a firefighter can go through in their career. Leadership styles and command presence is key and often not taught in the average officer candidate school, or as in many cases, there is no formal education for new officers at all. Mike helps bridge that gap in this episode as we dive into his experience, wisdom, and lessons learned as an officer with the FDNYs Elite Rescue 1, SOC, and his time as a float officer.
