Chief Dennis Rubin, a 40-year fire service veteran and author of
Rube's Rules for Survival, offers his newest leadership text based
on his tenure as chief of Washington, D.C. Fire & EMS. This
fast-paced collection of behind-the-scenes stories and case studies
provides the reader with insight on how leadership techniques can
be applied-for better or worse-in a real-world setting where a new
chief has to hit the ground running. Case studies also include
discussion questions to stimulate additional perspectives on
effective leadership methods and the pitfalls that can occur for
those who hold the greatest responsibility. Whether you belong to a
major metropolitan department or a smaller volunteer organisation,
Rubin's stories will provide a fascinating look at the dilemmas of
fire service leadership today. Contents: Introduction; The odyssey
begins: My selection process; First day at the grim; What's the
address?; It's not your father's fire department; Sex in the city;
Big fires; Big water; The whistle blowers club; The twisted
deposition; Amazing times at D.C.; The day the metro crashed; Three
attempted murders and one suicide; The inauguration of the 44th
president of the United States; The next day; Epilogue
