I’ll keep it short but sweet; I’ve been blogging for a few others and figured maybe I need to blog for myself. This will be a site for discussion of much of the emergency service leadership issues that revolve especially around special operations, since that is where my interests lie. So if you have some ideas, let them fly. In the meanwhile, I’m out here.
Welcome to FHZ
About
The scariest part about being an emergency service leader is not plunging headlong into disaster, but the subtleties of leading competent, well-equipped, and motivated individuals into these disasters (and through everyday interactions) as a cohesive and effective team. Here at FHZ is where we address those issues and more. Welcome.
