Happy February and we hope your 2023 is off to a smooth start. This month’s guest on Assuming Command™ is Dr. Andrew Holter.  Andrew is an organizational psychologist serving the Wilmington Fire Department in North Carolina as their Administrative Services Manager. He has been in emergency services for nearly 20 years and is the founder of FR Strategies, a public safety consulting group.  Andrew’s PhD dissertation was on whether self-efficacy, grit, and job satisfaction predict turnover intention amongst new nurses. You can connect with Andrew on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewholter1/or go to www.FR-strategies.com.

Bob and Andrew’s conversation fits right in with a favorite Assuming Command™ theme; looking to the future and trying to make choices today that will serve the future fire service. A big part of the discussion is around preparing for recruitment and how to create an effective interview process so you can choose the best candidates to move your agency forward.
