Leadership Development
on September 26, 2022 Chief Jon Goldman was presenting at Indiana APCO, when his staff notified him of a medical crisis at home. He was 1,000 miles from his office, and his best friend and Deputy Chief suffered a debilitating medical emergency rendering him unable to work. Sedated, and intubated with a poor prognosis for life, let alone a full return to duty. How does an organization continue when a key employee is suddenly, with no warning unable to work and may die coupled with the head of the organization is physically and mentally unable to lead. With humor and perspective attendees will be better prepared to manage crisis within their organization, and hear about lessons learned so this doesn't happen to them.

Learning Objectives:

  • At the end of this session participants will better be able to define weakness's in their continuity of operations plan. It is not always man made or natural disasters that affect ECC's.
  • At the end of this session participants will better understand what an organization will experience during times of uncertainty when a key employee (Deputy Chief) is suddenly unable to perform their duties. Participants will be more aware of how to prepare for these situations, and have the skills needed to continue operations.
  • At the end of this session participants will have the knowledge to manage their teams during significant employee events, they will have an understanding of what roles to assign, and to whom both internally and externally.
