Barn Boss Leadership: Make A Difference

Barn Boss Leadership is a unique blend of fire, science, psychology and fire service history provided by a author who has worked for the largest of metropolitan to the smallest of volunteer departments. True leaders develop their power long before they receive a promotion. This text is designed to provide a guide and self-awareness gut check for individuals of all ranks. However, the emphasis of this text is for the informal leader in the organization, who is the catalyst for action. This text is for the individual who considers mastery the minimum standard. This is the second edition edited by Marla Patterson, former Books and Video Acquisition Manager for Fire Engineering/Pennwell. The first edition was developed with a zero dollar budget and self-published. After an overwhelming response and even adoption for promotional testing and officer development at multiple departments across the country Brian reinvested in this grassroots effort to further refine the Barn Boss Leadership text with the second edition.
