Own It Fire & EMS
”Own It” is a new company that focuses on the fire responders and their well being and take a deeper look into our own lives. We want to ensure this job does not define us but we define it. ”Own It” helps others take accountability for every thing we do!
Don’t be defensive, stop take a breath and ask questions to see if there was a break down in communication. Be a part of the solution, not the problem. refocus your negative energy into problem solving. Admit your mistake and don’t be afraid to have those tough conversations with staff or your learners.
Being a leader, we are put into positions where our goal is to set others up for success. Les Karpluk does a great job in this weeks Genesis 20/20 solutions update. As a leader micromanaging can lead to negative outcomes. How can we as managers/leaders/mentors/coach/whatever else do to ensure we are not micromanaging our team members. Micromanagement leads to a fearful leader, or is unsure how to trust into lead. Take a listen and let us know your feedback about micromanagement.
When we say, "That Not My Job" It shows arrogance and laziness. Help be a part of the solution and not the problem, be a mentor, be a leader, and lead by example. Do it even when no one is watching, that means more than you will ever know. Do it even when it won't help you with upcoming promotions, do it because that is the right thing to do, and you want to help people better themselves.
Don't work harder at not doing the work, work harder and improving others so you can improve yourself.

A nice short recap from John Maxwell's live video cast from a few weeks ago. one good leadership tips for me to live by and to pass along. Create a culture that builds value and trust. Embrace good values and use them in every leadership situation. Inspire confidence, guide, coach and mentor. Understand the picture is not clear but don't motivate through a crisis, lead through it!
