Executive Skills Series: Exercising Leadership Ethically
Course Hours: 16.0 Hours
Course Description
This 16 hour course provides a developmental educational experience for those in positions of authority who regularly must make decisions, specifically when the choice of decisions is difficult because of gray areas which separate the issue in question from right or wrong. The scope of the course involves challenges that may involve risk, and there may be "casualties." This course is about how to act, behave or decide where there is no content clarity, legal precedent or procedural guidance.
Who Should Attend
The target audience for all of the Executive Skills Series courses consists of fire and emergency service personnel in positions of authority who have an opportunity to exercise leadership. The students must, minimally, be assigned to a supervisory level position (e.g., a Company Officer (CO).

The NFA form will be completed on the first day of the course. Students must provide the Student Identification Number on the first day of the course. What this means to you: This number is used in place of a Social Security Number and is obtained through the Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP).
