The Moral Imperative of
Mission-Oriented Leadership

9am to 4pm
Bo Thomas Auditorium
Blue Ridge Community College

Seminar Overview: Fires and emergencies are complex problem sets where leaders make critical decisions in a time-competitive environment where uncertainty, friction and risk are pervasive. It is not enough for leaders to be tactically competent, they must continuously strive to advance themselves physically, mentally and morally to optimize human performance.

Today’s fire service invests considerable resources into exposing its officer corps to various command and control models and management practices, but largely neglects the moral aspect of principled leadership. This discrepancy potentially produces a risk-averse and morally bankrupt doctrine which consciously emphasizes the interests and safety of firefighters above those of the public that we serve. Leaders must actively cultivate moral fitness in the same way that they develop mental toughness, physical fitness and technical acumen—through rigorous self-study.

This program will assist leaders in developing a decision-making framework that is responsive to moral dilemmas they will encounter during the preparation, execution and reflection phases of performance. This presentation endeavors to equip leaders with a greater regard for the moral imperative of mission-oriented leadership on the fireground and beyond.
