Are you fully confident in your ability to navigate successfully the political environments in which your agency operates? Do you know WHAT to do to be effective, as well as HOW to do it?
If you answered “no” to one or both questions, I invite you to join me on July 24th for an IAFC webinar with Fire Chief Kingman Schuldt on political acumen. Using Chief Schuldt’s personal experience in merging two independent fire districts in Collier County, FL, our conversation will cover the “what” as well as the “how to” of navigating successfully the political environments in which leaders in the fire and rescue service must operate. Below is a brief description of the event along with a link to register on the IAFC website. I hope you can join us!
Wicked Problem: Political Acumen
Thursday, July 24 at 11:00 AM ET
Presenters:
Kingman Schuldt, Fire Chief, East Naples-Golden Gate Fire Districts, Collier County, FL
Dr. Pat Lynch, President, Business Alignment Strategies, Inc.
Developing the capacity to work in political and politically-charged environments is a critical success factor for fire and rescue service leaders. This webinar focuses on how to address one of the “wicked problems” that leaders must overcome if they are to be fully successful in navigating their increasingly political settings. Fortunately, it is a skill that can be learned and improved with practice and experience.
