In today’s episode, we're looking what separates good leaders from great ones when conditions change fast.
We call it agile leadership — the ability to think clearly, adapt quickly, and guide your crew even when the plan goes out the window. On the fireground, you don’t always get the luxury of perfect information. You get smoke, noise, conflicting reports, and pressure to act.
We're going to share practical ways to build mental agility, spot early warning signs, and keep your team moving forward safely when the heat’s on. Whether you’re a crew leader or aiming to step up, this is a skill that will serve you on every call.
