MANAGEMENT PHILOSOPHY
The success of any fire district is the result of the combined efforts of each individual on the organizational team working toward common objectives. These objectives must be clearly known and fully understood by everyone in the organization, and reflect the fire district’s basic character, values and personality. For our district to fulfill its obligations and objectives, we will:
FIRST, we will have highly capable, creative and innovative people at all levels of the organization. Our members will have the opportunity - through continuing programs of training and education - to upgrade skills and capabilities. This is especially important in technical areas where the rate of change is rapid. Techniques that are good today will be outdated in the future, and we should always be looking for new and better ways to perform job functions.
SECOND, our organization will have objectives and leadership that generate enthusiasm and high morale at all levels. Members in management and supervisory positions should not only be enthusiastic themselves, they will be selected for their ability to inspire enthusiasm among their peers and subordinates. There can be no place for half-hearted interest of a half-hearted effort.
THIRD, the district will conduct its affairs with uncompromising honesty and integrity. Members at every level should be expected to adhere to the highest standards of business ethics. Anything less is unacceptable. It will be an integral part of the organization; a deeply ingrained tradition that is passed from one generation of elected official or employee to another.
FINALLY, even though our district is made up of members meeting the first three requirements, everyone must work toward common objectives recognizing that only through an effective, cooperative effort that the ultimate in efficiency, productivity, and achievement can be obtained.
