Department Mission: Doing More with Less

Question 5 • Principles of Fire and Rescue

Which of the following is a clear indicator of an effective leader in a fire department?

Answer
A
his or her rank
B
the location of his or her command
C
his or her salary
D
the people under his or her command

Explanation

An effective leader is best judged by the people they lead—their readiness, performance, and ability to work together. Rank, command location, and salary may reflect a person’s position or circumstances, but they do not show how well they lead. The clear indicator is the people under the leader’s command.
