PRERECORDED EPISODE (Go ahead, TRY and call in Live.)

Please Join Jeff, Craig, and Dane for the next episode of Tailboard Talk where we will be discussing the expectations and realities of leading in the fire service.  Leadership is critical at all ranks, but the reality of doing it well is often not as easy as one might think.  This show will hopefully provoke thought and discussion about what is realistic, what works, and what doesn’t work at all levels from firefighter to chief. Our guests, Ron Guggisberg, Jason Ness, and Rick Loveland will also share their experiences and thoughts.
