Critical Thinking for Fire Officer Development

Leigh Shapiro

Without practical education, guidance, and critical thinking skills, those in leadership positions are often thrust into situations where they are charged with making critical decisions without the essential knowledge base and abilities. This lack of awareness is the source of misinterpreting situations, which can have a ripple effect within an organization and the community. Often, excuses regarding the circumstances or being ill-prepared are made to justify negative outcomes.

This Webcast will teach students to critically evaluate their situation, select the appropriate leadership strategies and tactics, and drive the intended outcome. It provides a leadership roadmap to enhance your likelihood of success both on and off the fireground. Because there is no substitute for wisdom—gained only through experience—it is the responsibility of senior leadership to pass on those lessons to the new/aspiring officers to prepare them for what lies ahead so they don’t have to learn them the hard way.
