Mission-Ready Leadership: A Field Manual for Fire Officers equips company officers with practical tools to combat toxic behaviors, boost retention, and foster resilient teams in the demanding fire service. Drawing from doctoral research on destructive leadership and its impact on firefighter well-being, authors Dr. Anthony J. Clinker and Dr. Patrick D. Boullion deliver evidence-based strategies without academic jargon. Discover the three pillars of fire leadership—communication, relationships, and adaptability—through real-world examples, historical context, and modern theories like Situational Leadership and LMX. The heart of the book lies in ten workbooks with quick-implement tools, structured in 60-second, 5-minute, and 15-minute formats for on-shift use. Whether managing a dumpster fire or a career-defining crisis, this manual helps you lead with influence, not force, ensuring your crew stays safe, committed, and mission-ready.
