"""Amazing read by Chief Leeb. Many may think, how is anything at FDNY going to relate to me, but Chief Leeb does exactly that - relates everything to the overall fire service and how it can be implemented or addressed within organizations of all sizes, especially since he STILL volunteers at his local FD. If you have heard Chief Leeb speak in person or know him personally, you will often find yourself reading in his voice and NY accent - it brings life to the book and enhances the learning lessons and key takeaways. Highly recommend for all FF's, aspiring leaders, and current leaders"". ""Excellent well-rounded book. You don't have to be in a fire dept. or know anything about firehouse culture. Great leadership & team building read""."
