A beloved, well-respected figure in the fire community, Chief Ronny Coleman has spent the last 20 years imparting his wisdom in the pages of Fire Chief magazine. Chief’s Clipboard collects 100 of the most influential columns from Chief Coleman’s writings. These columns address a broad range of issues--from leadership, to health and safety, to succession planning--that all fire chiefs face in the course of their daily work. Many of the columns reflect actual events and critical turning points in the careers of firefighters moving up through the ranks. Chief’s Clipboard offers sound advice on how fire chiefs should develop their leadership, engage their staff, survive political situations within their organizations and communities, take care of themselves, and bring honor to the profession. Chief Coleman’s real-world approach and his ability to summon the future of the fire service and place it in a context that all can understand make this an invaluable addition to any fire chief’s reading list.

This review is from: Chief's Clipboard: Twenty Years of Ronny Coleman (Paperback)
Chief Coleman has been a prolific writer over the last 20 years and his topics are alway timely and accurate. I have had the fortune of meeting him on several occassions and respect him very much. This book is excellent it covers a lot of topics from your basic run of the mill situations to those that require significant finesse. Chief Coleman handles them all very well and adds his considerable experiences to help the reader understand the issues. I am still reading this selection and keep it at work to use as a reference source.
