Wisdom from Successful Leaders
• Each recipient of YLD funds provides the Foundation with an essay on leadership.
• That’s 27 years of leadership wisdom, and it got us thinking…what are the top attributes of fire service leaders from the perspective of other fire service leaders?
− We analyzed 90 award recipients’ leadership essays and six central concepts emerged. Here they are in rank.
