Your emails about the series on decision making and the traps that plague all of us have really been great! This podcast includes a segment about one of those traps: the sunk cost trap.

A second segment talks about dealing with a new leadership position, and how to tell if you’re using the right leadership style.  (Hint: if you’re not clear that there’s more than one leadership style, this podcast is for you!)  It doesn’t matter if you’re the President of the United States, a new equipment officer for your department or have just been promoted to a deputy chief’s role - how you manage the first 90 days in your new role define your success in that role. Let me know if you like the material, and I’ll go into more detail.

In our next episode, we’ll be talking about a new decision making trap, the Confirming Evidence Trap, and we’ll take a humorous look at how Luddites infest the ranks of the ambulance services.

For new leaders and experienced veterans, EMS Leadership Topics offers timely, actionable advice and a unique point of view you’re not likely to encounter anywhere else!
