The Company Officer’s Number 1 Priority – Daniel DeYear
Chief Daniel DeYear returns to The Firehouse Yak podcast after talking about the fire service’s approach to safety with a discussion on company officer development based on his workshops.
DeYear digs into decades of leadership lessons from nearly two decades as an officer and chief in Dallas Fire-Rescue, including communication, accountability, trust and support. Many including firefighters and officers, DeYear says, do not understand the officer’s primary role in the fire department.
Listen to learn about DeYear’s opinion of the biggest challenges facing fire officers today, most of which have been a challenge for the last few generations of fire service leaders. He also digs into the debate about being friends with your officers, about top-down and bottom-up communications and how to build a crew based on strengths and weaknesses.
