The use of a aerial ladder when a ground ladder may have been a safer choice, the absence of a helmet and potentially diminished vision were listed as key contributing factors in the death of a Rhode Island firefighter earlier this year, according to a report released by NIOSH.
Kingston Assistant Chief Allan "Pickles" LePage died on June 30, a day after suffering a severe head injury while he operated a platform aerial ladder from within the platform.
Dr. Richard B. Gasway talks with leadership consultant Howard Cross about his program "Leadership - The Seductive Lie."
Cross shares the components of strong leadership and discusses why leadership is not a position. Rather it is a set of choices and those choices can, at times, be challenging.
Cross and Gasaway also discuss the role of vision in setting the course for an organization and the part that leaders and followers play in creating organizational success.
