Assistant Fire Chief

"How do I become a better leader?"
Being in the Fire Service for 28 years, teaching at numerous Fire Departments for TEEX, sitting on boards for hiring or promotions, working in different departments when I was in the military and leading people in my own department, I have been asked this question a fair bit. I love this question, as simple as it is, it is also very complicated to answer.

Understanding Leadership
—hbr.org
Attempts to analyze leadership tend to fail because the would-be analyst misconceives his task. He usually does not study leadership at all.

What do I need to bring?
TEEX will provide a program, notebook and a pen to take notes during the sessions, but you should bring business cards or other contact information to share with those you network with during the conference.
Are meals included?
No, attendees are on their own for meals. The schedule allows plenty of time for attendees to either eat lunch at the hotel or at a local restaurant. Hotel staff and the local Convention & Visitor’s Bureau can also assist you with finding a restaurant.
TEEX will provide light refreshments between the general and breakout sessions.
