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.

Howdy from Due Work!  Take a break from being terrified constantly from a virus (and somehow not of fire, building collapse, or getting caught NOT having a probar with you) and check out our conversation with Benjamin Martin!  Ben schools us schmucks on communications, leadership, and building positive connections within the FD.  A solid relationship with your men starts with understanding how relationships are built to begin with.  Moving forward from there may take extra planning and strategy from you officers, but having a well-oiled machine is well worth it!  Thanks, as always, for listening.

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).

Today I’m joined by Benjamin Marion. Benjamin has been someone that I love listening to because it seems like so much of what he says speaks to me. We talk about his Embrace the Resistance platform, Intoxicated Leadership class, followership, and learning to deal with human nature. I’m so happy to have gotten the chance to sit down and talk with Benjamin and excited to share that conversation with you all.

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. Whether you’re a new and aspire to be an informal leader to those seasoned formal leaders of rank we all need to be teaching and sharing our experience and knowledge work as many people as we can. 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.

Behind the Shield-Episode 473: Benjamin Martin is a veteran firefighter and the man behind "Embrace the Resistance". We discuss his journey into the fire service, shift work, sleep deprivation, leadership mistakes, the importance of humility, tactical fitness and much more.
