    Description
    This course is designed as a self-assessment opportunity for individuals preparing to step into a leadership role in the wildland fire service.

Topics include leadership values and principles, transition challenges for new leaders, situational leadership, team cohesion factors, ethical decision-making, and after-action review techniques. Some course delivery may be arduous in nature.
