Chief Ludwig's common sense approach sets the bar

Revisado: 11-22-20

I have been fortunate to have known Chief Gary Ludwig for over 30 years and worked with him on many projects regarding national fire-based EMS issues. His 41 years of experience provides him with a unique perspective on leading members of the fire service.

His latest book, Fully Involved Leadership, is definitely one you will want to read and see first-hand his common sense approach for leaders to improve working with their fire departments. Each chapter provides a good discussion on ways to model leadership to your employees to provide a high level of customer service to the communities you serve. The book is filled with stories that explain leadership lesson in a distinctive way that will motivate you to apply many of the techniques he explains in this book.

Chief Ludwig presents an outstanding guide for both new and old officers on ways to approach leadership in the fire service in each of the areas discussed in the book. I enjoyed reading each chapter and recommend you pay close attention to the material at the end of each chapter. They contain examples of take-ways and areas to contemplate on the items discussed to help you toward your own professional development. Everyone from a rookie to Chief will benefit from reading this book.

Great Coaching from a Vetern

Revisado: 08-12-20 El oyente recibió este título gratis

A key to a great book is the communication and style of the author. In the case of this book Chief Gary Ludwig demonstrates exceptional skills in coaching and mentoring firefighters from the rookie to Chief. Each chapter covers a different aspect of the job of firefighting and provides clear insights into areas that are important to know. It is clear Chief Ludwig cares about teaching and mentoring firefighters to help keep them safe and to better prepare them in advance of areas they could encounter on the job. I highly recommend this book to members of the fire service. You will be glad you took the time to read or listen to it.
