Preventing Shift Wars: Encouraging Collaboration without Crushing Camaraderie

Different shifts and stations can easily devolve into feuding fiefdoms without active countermeasures in place. Prevent or eliminate the dreaded shift wars in your fire department with our proven strategies for unifying dispersed work teams.

Dr. Geoffrey Tumlin of On-Demand Leadership will lead the workshop and provide fire service officers and supervisors with a set of smart, functional performance feedback tools to improve accountability in fire departments.

Testimonials from Texas Fire Chiefs

“Don’t pass up the opportunity to send your people to Geoffrey Tumlin’s TFCA workshops. The sessions are so important and insightful that not only have we sent people to every single class, but we also decided to import the workshops to Midland for all our shifts. I recommend these workshops wholeheartedly!”
– Robert Isbell, Midland Fire Chief

“Geoffrey Tumlin is a friend of the fire service. He talks about new and important ideas in ways that fire fighters quickly understand, and his ideas make enormous positive differences in fire departments. I’m one of many chiefs who turn to Geoffrey for keen insights, second opinions, and trusted advice.”
– Neil Howard, Rowlett Fire Chief
