As an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), this was drilled into our heads, over and over. This was to build our confidence for when we rolled into challenging situations. We were trained, trained and trained some more. We drilled, drilled and drilled some more. We practiced, we studied, and we learned. We were skilled at many things. One of the most important was being adaptable, because no two scenes, no two conditions, are ever the same. We had to ARRIVE, ASSESS and ACT. Much like leadership. We must stay ready, so we don’t need to get ready. We must build our adaptability. We must build our confidence….and our competence. Because, as a leader, the emergency is over when you arrive on the scene. Leadership Lessons Learned
"...the emergency is over once you arrive on the scene". I love that Greg. Train hard, fight easy.

1yWhat a great thought, Greg! The past 3 years felt like a constant emergency and we never spent time “off the scene”, so it’s all about learning how to rest during the action. And your words resonate: be confident that you got this! We’re made for this: happy Monday.
