EXECUTIVE SKILL SERIES: EXERCISING LEADERSHIP ETHICALLY
National Fire Academy Course
Course Description:
This two-day course provides students with the ability to recognize ethical dilemmas in the context of their environments, apply a decision model to resolve these dilemmas, render ethical decisions, and defend under scrutiny the resulting decisions that were made in an effort to resolve these dilemmas.

The scope of this course is to provide a developmental education experience for those in positions of authority who regularly must make decisions when the choice of decisions is difficult because of the gray area that separates the issue in question from right or wrong. It also involves challenges that may involve risk, and there may be “casualties”. This course is about how to act, behave, or decide where there is no content clarity, legal precedent or procedure, or no opportunity to exercise leadership.

Great post! Reposted from - Dunning-Kruger Effect. The biggest lesson I have learnt on my journey in firefighting and technical rescue, is to become aware of how much I don't know. Because of that, I always look to gain knowledge from those that have more than I do. Always look to be better; never discount a source of knowledge.
