Another firehouse-fueled showdown, we welcomed back David “DJ” Stone to the show! DJ is currently developing "The Personnel Issues Playbook: Firefighter Interpersonal Issues You Must Know as a Boss". This is a collaborative project focused on the real-world people problems officers and chiefs face on the job, and how they’ve handled them.From navigating tough interpersonal conflicts to his own journey moving into the training division, we discussed hard-earned lessons on building trust, inspiring change, avoiding burnout, and leading with respect. We will also dug into patience vs. passion, earning credibility, recruiting informal leaders, playing the long game, and why surveying the land (not just the people) is critical at all levels.And of course… So many amazing questions from the Audience!Special thanks to IdentiFire and SnapTite Hose for episode 353 of The Weekly Scrap Podcast.
