How constraints help us achieve more
Michae Hyatt
Like water, work can be life-giving. However, it can also flow all over and flood our other life domains. We need boundaries to contain it. When we allow it to travel unrestricted, we're not accomplishing more. We're actually bringing something less than our best to both the office and home. We're scattered and depleted instead of being productive and fulfilled.

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!

Don't conflate leadership with management
Financial Times
Kati Vilkki writes: The hesitancy around leadership saddens me, yet it is entirely unsurprising. People are trapped in corporate systems that are failing them. We must recalibrate leadership to make it more attractive. It should be defined as anything that propels us towards a collective goal. Leaders are in the service of this goal and the people who work together to reach it.
