About This Webinar

Who’s the best candidate for a promotion? How do you spot these potential leaders and single them out for advancement? As a leader yourself, knowing how to answer these questions is a vital part of your role in the fire service.

Being able to run a fire is just one part of being a leader in this industry. Tactical decision-making is important, but it’s rarely the issue behind internal leadership failures. So why do we focus on developing and promoting this one aspect of leadership above all others? When leaders don’t know how to make wise non-tactical decisions, the whole system suffers.

Promoting the right people begins with developing Leaders of Character. This principle utilizes the West Point character development model, which prepares future leaders to make wise and trustworthy choices no matter what challenges they face. This webinar will give you the tools to spot, target, and nurture the strongest possible leaders within your organization, allowing you to separate “the best from the rest” while navigating the promotion process.

By the end of the session, you’ll:

• Have a strategy for fostering internal mentorship and development opportunities for the future leaders of your department
• Understand the Six Habits of Character and how to embed them into every rank
• Know the questions and the answers to critical questions that will help you make the best possible promotion decisions
• & more!
