Benjamin Martin of Henrico County Division of Fire, Virginia talks about followership being more important than leadership. Leaders must have the ability to demonstrate being a good follower in order to be a good leader. Leaders must strive to explain the why and the why not in a decentralized format to offer the big picture in interacting with each other on the fire ground and in the firehouse. Captain Martin dives into psychological safety in creating high-performing teams and organizations and leaders are responsible for creating that environment by modeling behavior.

Ben schools us schmucks on communications, leadership, and building positive connections within the FD.

This is going to be a fun episode this week. Benjamin is a kind of rising star with a unique look at leadership, emotional intelligence, and organizational culture. You've had articles across fire engineering, fire rescue, fire department training network, and a bunch of others, and you also run EmbraceTheResistance.com. So, Benjamin, thanks for joining me today, and give me some background on why embrace the resistance and what are you resisting?
I'm so excited to be joined by my friend Benjamin Martin for a conversation that I have been looking forward to having for a while. Today Benjamin digs into expectations and definitely makes some really great points. Setting expectations has always been a cornerstone of what I thought was required of all leaders but that for me has changed. Do yourself a favor and take the time to listen to this conversation, I promise that you will at the very least leave with several takeaways and quite possibly with a completely different perspective on the role that expectations play for us as leaders and why there are more important areas to focus on to accomplish the same thing (here's a hint - it's culture).

Joining me today on episode 6 of the Underground Leadership Movement is Sean Duffy and Benjamin Martin. We dig into the importance of leaders stepping up to be teachers and the benefits that come from doing so.

Lead by example, share what you have learned, and do good things.
When you did your early training, did you make a lot of mistakes? If so, you likely learned more from the screw-ups than anything else. It was a valuable experience. And hard to replace effectively. But my guest today says a lot of today’s younger firefighters are short-cutting that training— and missing the point—by using the internet. Benjamin Martin is a Captain with a large metro fire department in Virginia.
