Book Synopsis
On Wednesday, September 28th, 2022, FDNY Chief Frank Leeb delivered the keynote address to kick off Firehouse Expo in Columbus, Ohio. Taking inspiration from his own leadership philosophy of training, teamwork, and mentorship, he shared the principles he learned during his more than 40 years in the fire service. These principles have been the cornerstones of his leadership as he ascended the ranks of the FDNY, serving in several senior leadership positions. He also demonstrated how these lessons are transferable to any occupation or industry looking for self-improvement or organizational advancement. Chief Leeb's keynote speech inspired and motivated those in attendance.
Building on the core tenets laid out in his speech, Leeb now recounts stories from his distinguished career, both on and off the fireground. He recounts, stories of leadership, heroism, triumph, playing to win, and how the slimmest of margins between winning and losing can be directly credited to our preparation and winning mindset. Told with unique stories of the FDNY in action, the FDNY way, this book provides simple time-tested wisdom, practical advice, and words of motivation that will inspire you to action.
Review Quotes
"Amazing read by Chief Leeb. Many may think, how is anything at FDNY going to relate to me, but Chief Leeb does exactly that - relates everything to the overall fire service and how it can be implemented or addressed within organizations of all sizes, especially since he STILL volunteers at his local FD. If you have heard Chief Leeb speak in person or know him personally, you will often find yourself reading in his voice and NY accent - it brings life to the book and enhances the learning lessons and key takeaways.
Highly recommend for all FF's, aspiring leaders, and current leaders".
"Excellent well-rounded book. You don't have to be in a fire dept. or know anything about firehouse culture. Great leadership & team building read".
