2024 Annual Conference: Professional Development

Friday, October 18th, 8:00 - 11:30 am | Morning Session

The 9L’s
Battalion Chief Corley Moore, Moore Fire Department (OK) & Firehouse Vigilance & The Weekly Scrap, Firefighter Podcast

Session Description
The mission of the class is to give people the tools they need to build a high performance culture within their organization. I am extremely passionate about this, and I believe that understanding these principles can challenge anyone, anywhere to improve the culture of their department. The presentation is broken down into nine principles of leadership all of which start with the letter "L". Learn, Listen, Love, Look, Laugh, Level, Live, Labor, Last. The ultimate point of the class is to provide them with the single greatest tool that I can give to someone in a leadership role, and that is a lens by which you can judge every decision around the firehouse... before you make it. (I say firehouse on purpose... not fireground).
