OPD Day 5
As Lena and I await our flight back to the US I realized I didn’t post our Day 5 information.

Day 5 was packed with the students’ final presentation: a compelling argument for FEU support on their cause. Two groups presented on the need for further development of cultural intelligence programs, two groups presented on the need for assistance with recruitment and retention of part time (volunteer) firefighters, and one group presented of the need for support of sustainable fire stations.

In 1988, I was diagnosed with a learning disability. I was frustrated, and my parents were worried about what my future might look like. Sound familiar?

Trust me—things can work out.

Today, that frustrated kid helped facilitate a leadership program with participants from 15 different countries.

Never let a diagnosis define your potential.

"Reading is an honor and a gift from a warrior or historian who—a decade or a thousand decades ago—set aside time to write. He distilled a lifetime of campaigning in order to have a 'conversation' with you.

If you haven't read hundreds of books, you are functionally illiterate, and you will be incompetent because your personal experiences alone aren't broad enough to sustain you.

Any commander who claims he is 'too busy to read' is going to fill body bags with his troops as he learns the hard way"

“Unfortunately, the fire service has been in the habit of [centralized] command structure for decades, where everyone reports to the IC. The IC’s span of control is blown out, the IC gets overwhelmed and behind the power curve, and the communications gets sloppier and harder to understand. And accountability is out the window. Sound familiar?”

Yes it does.
