This high-powered, interactive training program explores the basic responsibilities and the critical skills and techniques required of the fire officer/supervisor. The first-line supervisor has the critical responsibility to get the organization’s work done through managing people. To achieve this goal, the supervisor must rely on his/her team members. The successful and effective leader recognizes the need to have motivated, technically competent team members and acknowledges that a supervisor must have leadership, management, appropriate supervision, and effective communication skills.
This program identifies the fire officer’s role, responsibilities, and the gray areas associated with them. It also reviews the basic "laws of the organization," which are the mission, goals and objectives. It will identify how every action and decision the fire officer makes should be aligned with the organization’s mission.
