Leadership Blog V2.0 Episode 4, Replacements

 Replacements


In our last post, we discussed the value of courage, and what courageous leadership may look like.  Today's episode takes us to Holland with Easy Co, as they jump into Operation Market Garden.

Leadership takes on many forms, and is not dependent on rank.  This episode follows along with one of the NCOs (Non-Commissioned Officers) Sargent Denver "Bull" Randleman.  As the "replacements" join with Easy Co. in the episode, Bull gives us an example of what a mentor looks like.

Leaders are Mentors


Like the other terms we have discussed so far, if you google "mentor" you will find many different definitions.  More importantly...what does it mean to you?  As you learn and grow in your skills as a leader, consider the following:

Discussion questions to consider...

  • What does it mean to you to be a mentor?
  • Have you had mentors in your life?
  • Have you been or are you currently a mentor to someone?
  • What does and "ideal" fire service mentor look like?
