«Leadership becomes easy to grasp» (Brandschutz)
Humans are the deciding factor in the line of duty, regardless of all of the highly developed technological resources available. This must be taken into account for the training of the emergency services to be effective. As such, personality-specific content must also be included in the fire academy’s syllabus alongside technical topics. Interpersonal Skills LAB is an excellent method for training cooperation between team members under realistic conditions.
