Episode Details

This week on the Humpday Hangout, Brian Zaitz, P.J. Norwood, and Candace Ashby discuss FDIC, problematic employees, leadership, and management. Ashby challenges firefighters to stop waiting for administration to save them and star saving themselves. They discuss a leadership crisis in the fire service and how negative people spread through the ranks while the majority stay silent. The panel argues that company officers are more powerful than any chief, yet many have traded real command for endless consensus building. She breaks down six core issues plaguing modern departments in this raw, unapologetic look at why the "brotherhood" is fraying now more than ever and how they can reclaim their stations.
