Henderson Fire Department
By: Fire Chief Shawn White
Henderson Fire Department
The Henderson Fire Department has a long history of the belief that we are all leaders at some level in the organization, and we should all “Lead from our Position”. As students of leadership we understand that leaders have three fundamental responsibilities:
1) Craft a Vision
2) Build Alignment
3) Champion Execution.
We have been successful at applying these leadership responsibilities to build an outstanding organization. We have utilized this process to create successful programs, design excellent equipment, build great facilities and improve emergency incident outcomes. But there is still work to accomplish in order to reach our goal of becoming the best fire department in the nation.
Our Chief Officer team has been working the last 13 months to create a unified message, which best represents the values of the Henderson Fire Department and answers six key questions for organizational health. We believe these are virtues that have set us apart from other emergency service organizations and represent the basis of how we build upon our past success.
The Chief Officers will be out visiting you over the next several weeks discussing this HFD Advantage:
