How to gracefully handle a conflict among your team members
Fast Company
Children want to know what the rules are, and they want those rules to be applied dependably between them. Baseball players want to know how the umpire is "defining" the strike zone, and they want consistent at-bat calls across both teams. If drivers followed their own rules and police thought up infractions sporadically, our public roads would be chaos.

Why you should make personal development part of your leadership
Lolly Daskal
Leaders often rely on the skills they trust the most — the things they know they do well. However, if you speak to most successful leaders, you'll discover that they're constantly pushing themselves in new directions and learning new skills. They make personal development a priority — and if you aren't doing the same, your leadership is not as effective as it could be.

7 lessons for the new manager or supervisor
By Hank Boyer
Being a first-time manager or supervisor can be a very scary time. The confidence you had in performing every facet of the job as one of the team now seems to abandon you as you ready yourself for your first day as the new supervisor. A little pep talk with yourself in the car on the way to work settles things a bit, but now, as you enter the department, it seems as if every eye is on you. You smile and warmly greet your team, though your mouth feels as dry as a cotton ball. You think, "What have I gotten myself into?"

What social media doesn't teach you about effective communication
Kevin Eikenberry
We all communicate in a variety of ways every day. The fact is human beings are born to communicate. And the number of ways we can communicate has never been greater than today. In fact, some of our most prevalent communication mediums today didn't exist 20 years ago. Unfortunately (though, probably predictably), an abundance of tools hasn't necessarily made us better communicators. My case in point today? Social media. Let's explore what we can learn about effective (or not) communication from social media.

Why competition is good for you — and your legacy
By Alan Weiss
We all compete, and we do it much more frequently than we believe or admit to. We've all witnessed the bedlam that breaks loose when a plane lands and reaches the gate. The pilot signals with a bell that we can rise, and everyone leaps to their feet to access the overhead luggage. Our competition can reach cringeworthy levels, but not all of it is bad. When competition is overt, unabashed, unashamed and focused, it can be good for your health, good for your soul and good for the legacy you create daily. In effect, competition gives our lives meaning in six distinct ways.

How the best leaders avoid doing everyone else's job
Lolly Daskal
If you're a leader, a manager or a boss, you know how things come at you — all at once, all the time, without stopping, and with people relying on you to respond quickly and decisively.
The ability to respond to complex situations and make rapid-fire decisions is necessary to great leadership, and it's grounded in knowing how to keep your perspective and avoid distractions.

Promoted by School of EMS
Online education is not new, but it has been slow to be embraced by vocational schools, especially for the Fire and EMS industry. Students enroll in online school for the increased flexibility and cost savings offered by doing coursework at home - or at the station!
So how can such a hands-on discipline successfully be taught with the instructor and student in different cities?

Do you remember when we were at school and had group projects? The idea was to work as a team and share ideas. Fun, huh? There was just this one itsy-bitsy thing: not everyone was heard or taken into consideration. It was really hard to communicate your opinion unless you were the loud one on the team.
