TRANSITIONAL TEAM CONCEPTS FOR COMPANY OFFICERS

摘要

Team Concepts And Teamwork Have Always been part of the fire service. From the time we entered the fire service, we have been bombarded with the absolute necessity of teamwork. In training, we are taught that nothing on the fireground or rescue incident site is accomplished without a highly trained, equipped, and motivated team. Certainly, individuals contribute to the team effort. In rare cases, individuals actually perform a spectacular feat that brings instant notoriety. However, if we were able to examine the "behind the scenes" issues of that individual feat or action, we would most likely discover that the efforts of the members of a given team made that event possible and that without team members' contributions in much less glamorous areas, that individual feat probably would not have occurred. Whether it's a crane rescue or the rescuing of individuals trapped in the windows of a fire building in a large city, we would find this to be true. This is not to take anything away from the bravery, integrity, and honor of the individuals who were assigned and carried out the "high-profile" task that day. Rarely does an individual in the fire and rescue services pull off an extraordinary rescue or operation without the assistance of a team or multiple teams.
