Fire Chief

Because I was hired to work primarily with uniformed firefighters, I mostly heard their side of things. They told stories about dispatch errors and categorized dispatchers as lazy or incompetent. But when I asked what direct experience those firefighters had working and communicating with dispatchers apart from their own emergency response, the answer was very little.

Pause, reflect and recommit: leadership questions to ask yourself
Forbes
How's this year going for you? If you’re like most of the leaders I talk to, even as the world returns to “normal,” you’re still feeling overwhelmed, overworked and burnt out. The pandemic has been hard on all of us. Leaders have been asked to do more with less for months. We’ve all had to adapt our leadership styles to working remotely, and now many of us are navigating an uncertain return to the office or a new hybrid work reality. Many leaders I speak to are feeling isolated and in dire need of a break.

The cure for burnout
Michael Hyatt
Most achievers think the answer to their productivity struggle is to hustle harder and faster. But that only leads to burnout. And in the modern workforce, burnout is a constant threat. We put leaders who never rest on a pedestal. We wear busyness like a badge of honor. Technology keeps us continually connected and always on the alert for the next fire to put out. But we can only float down the hustle river for so long before hitting the rocks.

The summer vacation boom is upon us: Are you ready?
Human Resource Executive
Nearly a year-and-a-half into the pandemic, employees are ready to travel again. Working from home, particularly, has many workers wanting to completely disconnect from the office and take long overdue time off. “It’s kind of like lions in a cage,” says Adam Gordon, co-founder of PTO Genius, a tech solution used by employers to help manage PTO. “Most employees are planning something, or at least want to.” Last summer, 44% of U.S. employees didn’t use any paid time off, according to data from ValuePenguin, yet 72% wanted to take a vacation.

How much freedom is too much (at work)?
Kevin Eikenberry
Freedom at work means that people are able to exercise their talents and are empowered to make meaningful decisions and take meaningful actions. It doesn’t mean people can do whatever they want. It doesn’t mean everyone is a free agent. People are a part of something larger than themselves that they are accountable to and responsible for.
