Social Intelligence Skills for Fire and Emergency Services Supervisors/Managers
by Stephen J. Sampson, Ph.D., and Paul J. Grant
What Leaders Need to Know to Lead and Succeed
Fire and emergency supervisors and managers are often thought of as over-authoritarian and uncaring, with a “just the facts” mentality. Not true, according to these authors. And, in this resource, they present a set of skills that will allow you to demonstrate your social intelligence and enable you to manage people effectively and with decency.
This book is based on over 30 years of experience and research in fire and emergency settings. You’ll learn how rank, title, knowledge of crisis management, and mastery of strategy and tactics do not equate to effective leadership. The ability to influence without authority does. And that’s why social intelligence skills are so important.
