I deeply appreciate and share great leadership lessons when I find them, and some of those recent lessons came from a book I stumbled upon in a bookstore called “It’s Your Ship: Management Techniques from the Best Damn Ship in the Navy,” written by D. Michael Abrashoff, a navy captain. This book is a leadership manifesto of how to deliver high performance. It has everything to do with people, the work environment, and being a leader who does the right thing. By James Rychard

I recently celebrated 22 years on the job with Waterloo Fire Rescue. It’s hard to believe how fast time has passed! Despite all the changes one thing that can still be counted on as a firehouse tradition is the classic celebratory meal. Yes, it is a firehouse tradition from the day you start; when you pass your first year probation and every increment after that, when you celebrate a birthday or work anniversary, receive a promotion, or when you just want to treat your crew; you cook them (and pay!) for a really nice meal.

For every situation you encounter in your career, you bring to it the learning and experiences from your past. You need to train the way that you respond in real life, and that means not isolating training to the technical skills you need for one specific type of response, but instead looking at each situation holistically.

When I began my career in emergency services, I had a narrow view of what it meant to serve the public and provide aid to those in need. My perception of service was limited to a quick response and decisive action. Over the years I have come to realize that our response to incidents is just one part of a bigger picture. Through this article, in which I’ve included references for statistics at the end, I hope to show how fire and medical response agencies can provide better service to the public if they adopt a holistic approach to emergency service delivery.
