Tactic Make decisions based on the circumstance, not the individual you are dealing with. Tactic: As a supervisor, if you're working with your hands you're not working with your mind. Always be cognizant of if you are operating at the task, tactical, or strategic level. If you have to move down a level due to circumstances beyond your contro, make sure to move back as quickly as possible. Tactic: When you lose, or suffer a setback, smile and push forward. Do not give anyone the power over you to take away your passion. “Feelings are more dangerous than ideas, because they aren't susceptible to rational evaluation.” -Brian Eno _________________________________________ ~Check out my Linktree, link in bio or click: https://linktr.ee/tip_of_the_spear_leadership !! ~ New Merch Store: https://tipofthespearleadership.creator-spring.com ~Find us on Facebook, Instagram, and Tik Tok: @Tip_Of_The_Spear_Leadership ~If you haven’t already, Check out Tip of The Spear Leadership Podcast on all your favorite podcast platforms to include #Spotify, and Apple Podcasts ******

As a firefighter, you have already demonstrated courage, teamwork, and a commitment to serving others. Now, as an officer, you will be tasked with leading and managing a team, making critical decisions, and ensuring the safety and well-being of both your crew and the community you serve. This transition requires a shift in mindset, as you embrace a new level of leadership and take on the responsibility of guiding and inspiring your fellow firefighters. With your experience, skills, and dedication, you are well-positioned to excel in this role, making a lasting impact and continuing to make a difference in the lives of others. __________________________________________ ~ New Merch Store: https://tipofthespearleadership.creator-spring.com ~Find us on Facebook, Instagram, and Tik Tok: @Tip_Of_The_Spear_Leadership ~Check out my Linktree, link in bio or click: https://linktr.ee/tip_of_the_spear_leadership !! ~If you haven’t already, Check out Tip of The Spear Leadership Podcast on all your favorite podcast platforms to include #Spotify, and Apple Podcasts ******
