The Wildland Fire Leadership Development Program is launching a new campaign, Leading with Courage, to run during the first 11 months of 2013.
Here is the way it is described on their web site:
“Campaign Intent
Task: Provide an opportunity for wildland fire service personnel to focus leadership development activities on a nationally-sponsored, centrally-themed leadership campaign and recognize local leadership participation efforts.
Purpose:
- To foster a cohesive effort to promote leadership across the wildland fire service.
- To provide a template that can be used to encourage leadership development at the local level.
- To provide a mechanism to collect leadership best practices and share throughout the wildland fire service.
End State: Creation of a wildland fire service culture that willingly shares leadership best practices in order to maintain superior service-wide leadership’
I sure don’t remember requiring a “campaign” to provide leadership when running a crew, nor do I remember a “campaign” needed for a fireline decision to be made.
One only has to read the WFL website mission statement –
“to promote cultural change in the work force … ”
to understand what the real intent is here.
