What does it take to lead people into a burning building? How do
the leaders of the New York City Fire Department develop so much
loyalty, trust, and grace under pressure that their subordinates
will risk their very lives for them?
As a high-ranking officer of the FDNY, John Salka is an expert
at both practicing and teaching high-stakes leadership. In First
In, Last Out, he explains the department's unique strategies and
how they can be adopted by leaders in any field--as
he has taught them to organizations around the country. In a
tough-talking, no-nonsense style, Salka uses real-world stories to
convey leadership imperatives such as: first in, last out--your
people need to see you taking the biggest risk, as the first one
toenter the danger zone and the last to leavemanage change--the
fire you fought yesterday is not the one you'll be fighting
tomorrowcommunicate aggressively--a working radio is worth more
than 20,000 gallons of watercreate an execution culture--focus your
people on the flames, not the smokecommit to reality--never allow
the way you would like things to be to color how things aredevelop
your people--let them feel a little heat today or they'll get
burned tomorrow
Illustrated by harrowing real-life situations, the principles in
First In, Last Out will help managers become more confident,
coherent, and commanding.
