Leadership and mental health are very separate, yet related issues in and around a firehouse.
A good leader will have his or her finger on the pulse of a crew, have the ability to recognize ups and downs. Notice what is, and isn't normal for someone. Foster an environment and an atmosphere that allows for a crew member to express issues and ask for help. A good leader can also help develop mental fitness and wellness in a proactive approach. A leader good, bad or indifferent can make or break a crew.
Lieutenant Mike Nasti is the creator and voice behind "Tip of the Spear Leadership Podcast". Tip of the Spear is a podcast developed for and about leadership.
