  • Darkhorse Emergency: From Activity to Outcomes: How new tools and data will change reporting forever

    Fire Chiefs are increasingly being asked to show the impact of their work; not just how fast crews respond, but whether their efforts are improving community outcomes.

  • Blanchard: Overcoming Destructive Leadership in First Responder Agencies

    Destructive leadership can quietly erode morale, performance, and trust within first responder agencies—organizations that rely on unity, resilience, and clarity under pressure. This powerful and practical webinar explores how to identify and overcome the type of leadership behaviors that undermine team effectiveness and well-being. We’ll unpack the underlying causes of destructive leadership, including unexamined generational differences and the disconnect between leadership intentions and their actual impact. Participants will gain insights into how differing values and communication styles across generations can fuel tension—and how intentional, adaptive leadership can bridge those gaps. Through real-world examples and proven strategies, this session guides current and emerging leaders in shifting from power-driven to purpose-driven leadership. Attendees will leave with tools to evaluate their own leadership practices, repair broken trust, and cultivate a culture of accountability, integrity, and psychological safety.
