Course Description
This course, a primer on leadership, is the second formal course in the Wildland Fire Leadership Development Program. The instructional strategy of this course is:
- Introduce students to fundamental leadership concepts and theories applicable to high-risk environments, enhancing their overall skill set and operational effectiveness.
- To provide students with small unit leadership opportunities to assess how prepared they are to step into a leadership role.
This training course is designed as a self-assessment opportunity for individuals preparing to step into a leadership role. The course combines one day of classroom instruction followed by a second day in the field with students working through a series of problem-solving events in small teams (Field Leadership Assessment Course). Topics include leadership values and principles, decision-making tools, transition challenges for new leaders, situational leadership, team cohesion factors, ethical dilemmas, and briefing and debriefing techniques. Some course delivery may be arduous in nature.
