The Leadership Crisis Nobody Is Talking About: Are We Training Leaders or Creating Followers?
Leadership in the Line of Fire
Many organisations say they want leaders but reward compliance and punish initiative until nobody on the team will make a move without permission.
In this episode, I explain how the fireground practice of putting new firefighters into leadership roles in safe, controlled training environments reveals what it actually takes to develop people who can think, adapt and act when conditions change.
You'll learn why compliance culture quietly kills decision-making, how to spot if your team has become approval-dependent and what to start doing to rebuild confident leaders who can step up when you're not in the room.
