Personal Development

摘要

Before any of us can be entrusted to lead people, we must ensure we are competent to lead them. This competency is gained through training, acquiring knowledge, developing skill sets, education, mentoring, grabbing opportunities, networking, watching, listening, reading, and asking for the extra assignments. Each of these components provides you with one more nugget that you get to put into your arsenal for being a leader when the right situation arises. These situations may be on the fire scene with a rescue attempt, at the station teaching fire behavior to the probie, or at the community center teaching public education. Ironically, once you become a leader, you never stop performing these tasks. It is a continuous improvement cycle for you.
