This episode was recorded at the AVB CTC in Phoenix, AZ on June 5, 2025.

We  explore how perspective in leadership impacts firefighter safety and organizational effectiveness.

Join us for part 2 next week


• A number of firefighters involved in recent line-of-duty deaths were between 25-30 years old
• Danger exists when leaders prioritize being "cool" over passing down hard-earned wisdom
• Effective leadership requires the ability to say "no" in hazardous situations
• Perspective naturally evolves with experience and knowledge
• Tactical supervision (the middle command layer) is critical during extended operations
• Accountability and kindness are not mutually exclusive leadership traits
• Consistency in leadership approach across all contexts maintains organizational integrity
• Operating within effective systems prevents freelancing and improves safety outcomes
• After-action reviews are essential for continuous improvement and perspective development

Join us next week for part two of this special podcast on leadership and perspective in the fire service.
