...it was nice to spend this past Monday in an air-conditioned conference room participating in the Leadership in the Trenches Course at the ASFHS Center. I enjoyed the course very much and after reviewing some the literature posted on Jim’s website, appreciate your efforts to really streamline the material to make it easily digestible and practical for all the participants regardless of position or experience. For me, the course served as a good way to focus on my leadership style and refine some of my approaches in dealing with the wide range of direct reports that I oversee. Simple concepts such as PREP which when combined with the principles of a Management Action Plan, can yield simple but effective results which if then actively supported can be sustained. As Harry said, “It’s not rocket science”. However, it was a nice change to have things presented at a comfortable level of understanding instead of the usual “consultant talk”.

I thought it was one of the best programs I have ever attended. I think that it gave me the opportunity to really appreciate the value our staff brings to us. I don’t always have the time to go and tell them. I think this course gave me the ideas to go and really talk with them and put this to use and improve my organization.

I thought the program was excellent. I did get out of it that I need to try and listen better, and understand in a different format than what I am use too. I’m just not sure that the way it was promoted, is for Emergency Responders and I think it could be beneficial to anybody. I don’t think you should attention it just to Emergency Responders. This is a great leadership tool which I would highly recommend to any supervisory level or greater.
