The role of an incident commander (IC) is, in essence, one of leadership. Regardless of the individual, their rank or the situation at hand, the incident command team invests a tremendous amount of clout in the IC to create positive outcomes. The IC is the quarterback for the team, and the clearer the IC is about the various aspects of their authority, the more effective they'll be and the more likely there will indeed be positive outcomes from the incident.
