A program born though a collaboration of Academy Award nominated filmmakers, the Dean of Instruction
for the FDNY, and a top management writer and university professor.
Putting Out Fires is a unique training and productivity power tool vital to all industries and applicable to any organization, large or small.
Each day members of every organization put out fires, manage crises, work in teams, and deal with the unexpected, all the while producing unfailing results. The fire department does the exact same thing, and because firefighters are extraordinarily good at doing their jobs, the lessons they have learned and applied for over 200 years will be of exceptional value to any organization.
A management expert and a highly decorated firefighter deliver this live presentation in a customizable format that is sensational, interactive, and memorable.
This seminar will cover
Teamwork
Teamwork successfully fights fires
From the moment the bell rings in the firehouse, each firefighter knows his individual role and the roles of his immediate team members. Building a culture of service around an organization’s goals strengthens every team and reduces turnover.
.
Planning and Practice
Practice makes perfect
Firefighters train to cover every protocol they will follow in actual fires so that when the time comes to do their jobs, they can put out fires flawlessly and save lives. As protocols improve, they must return for additional tactical training throughout their careers.
Crisis Management
It is important to expect the unexpected
Every fire is a crisis of unknown proportions, therefore, it is important to establish protocols that eliminate the unknown and create the best opportunity to make the best decision.
.
Building Heroes
Fire departments don’t hire heroes — they create them
They do this by developing a culture of service and sacrifice that values every life.
Commitment to Mission
Have what it takes
No matter how great the danger, firefighters have an unfailing commitment to their mission and each knows they can count on one another in every situation. Building a committed workforce is key to achieving extraordinary performance. Participants learn how to develop that same level of commitment to their organization and inspire it in others.
