Fire Service Mortar: The Critical Role of the Company Officer
Captain Jarrod Sergi
This course is designed to provide the tools and knowledge needed to lead from the front as a Company Officer all while building an effective group of performers. It is designed to target newly promoted Company Officers as well as those who may assume the role in the near future, but will ultimately benefit anyone who has the desire to make change and drive ownership into the company level. The Company Officer truly is the mortar in any fire department. They have the ability to keep their department running strong and efficient with their example, attitude, and passion. In this program I will bring previous military experience as well as experience in my current role to drive home the importance of unit cohesion and how it can have a lasting im-pact. Key concepts discussed will be preparation, credibility, training, team building, values, conflict resolu-tion, time management, and more. I will share with you the love and passion I have for our fire service. It will be my goal to demonstrate just how critical strong company level leadership is to the overall success of your organizations. Fire Service Mortar is meant to inspire action and produce results in your company, your sta-tion, and your department. I will give you the tools today to make immediate change tomorrow!
