Jump Seat to the Front Seat

This book is a great compliment to: Jump Seat Leadership: The guide to informal leadership in the fire service. While I believe the firefighters who choose to lead from the jump seat are the backbone of the fire service, I don't think they should all stay in the jump seat. In this book, I encourage you to consider taking the next step based of my personal experiences and lessons learned as I transitioned from a firefighter to an officer. I had to ask myself some personal questions prior to promotion. You should do the same. We need good leadership at the officer level. We need good formal leaders. If you're already leading, you might actually make a great fire officer. So, what do you say? Is it time for you to change seats. This book will force to ask yourself if you are ready for promotion on a personal level. This book is not a tactical book to get you ready for testing and assessment centers. I tell personal stories and share experiences that I believe will help you prepare for promotion as a person.
