Lessons in Followership Make You a Better Leader Nov 06, 2022

Lessons in Followership Make You a Better Leader

I asked Todd Manns of The Blue Cell to speak to a master's class I am teaching, and as the class was in discussion, Todd dropped some wisdom on the students that I even had to write down. It was from leadership to Followership; we need to understand the Task, Purpose and end state of the mission we are on. That got me thinking. We talk a lot about leadership, but what does it mean to be a good follower?

Is Emergency Management A Profession or a Job Nov 01, 2022

Show notes

Whether or not emergency management is considered a profession has been discussed and debated for several years. There are all sorts of implications including recognition as professionals, education versus training, classroom instruction versus on-the-job experience, and respect for the work emergency managers do both when responding to a disaster and when doing other things to preserve life, property, and the environment. In addition to performing the duties of an emergency manager, there are political and policy-making issues requiring the emergency manager’s attention. Dr. Carol Cwiak, Associate Professor of Emergency Management at North Dakota State University has been leading the transformation of emergency management from a job to a profession. Dr. Cwiak has lectured around the world on the importance of the code of ethics and core competencies for emergency management.

What is a leader? Oct 31, 2022

Show notes

When you think about great leaders, who comes to mind?

Impactful figures like George Washington and Martin Luther King Jr., or perhaps Winston Churchill and John F. Kennedy, might come to mind.

But defining what truly marks these historic icons as good leaders proves a bit more challenging. Was it simply their position that made them good leaders, or was it something more?

While we’ve all experienced leadership in our lives, we are rarely asked to define “what is a leader.” Answers vary from organizations, individuals, and situations, making leadership qualities even more elusive to pinpoint.

What do you think about the next step in your career? This conversation explores the definition and qualities of leadership, how it differs from management, and tips for becoming a better leader.

I had the privilege of sitting with Jacki Koci Tamayo, an emerging leader in the emergency management space, and Brian Colburn, a leading podcast producer.

Managing Large-Scale Events Super Bowl LVI Oct 27, 2022

Show notes

With roughly 100 million viewers each year, The Super Bowl is the most iconic event in American sports. The live broadcast dominates television ratings, and the in-person event brings thousands of visitors to regional hotels, restaurants, entertainment venues, and retail businesses, potentially impacting the local economy.
Last year, Super Bowl LVI was hosted by the City of Inglewood in Los Angeles County at the new, state-of-the-art SoFi Stadium. There will be several additional activities and attractions in addition to the Big Game, drawing visitors from near and far. But how much planning do you think you'll need to do for one football game?

Traditional Leaders vs Servant Leadership Oct 23, 2022

Show notes

What is Leadership? This may seem like a silly question. There are many books, podcasts, and classes on leadership, and that question must have been answered. However, the question, What is a leader keeps coming to the four.

Some think of leadership as a formal role given to an individual with a title such as "manager" or "director." For others, a leader is a charismatic individual who can work the room and charm their team to do what they want.

Then there is the old debate of "are leaders born?" or can leaders be "made?"

The Impact of Disasters on Women Oct 20, 2022

Show notes

Studies have shown that women disproportionately suffer the impacts of disasters, severe weather events, and climate change because of cultural norms and the inequitable distribution of roles, resources, and power, especially in developing countries. Women make up the majority of the world’s poor and are more dependent than men on natural resources for their livelihoods and survival. Women tend to have lower incomes and are more likely to be economically dependent than men. When drought or unseasonable rain, for example, threatens agricultural production, men can use their savings and economic independence to invest in alternative income sources or otherwise adapt.
Join Todd and Dr. Samantha Montano as they explore the problems and solutions that face disaster survivors and their impacts on women and children.
