Leadership, Evaluation and Assessment Dialogue
Young Men and Fire
In leadership there are many interesting dichotomies. The relationship between courage and foolhardiness is one as is the relationship between control and panic. Leaders in every arena confront these and other behavioral choices and how they respond reveals a lot about their capacity to lead when resources are scarce, when timing is critical and when decisions are irreversible. This is the story of the tragic 1949 Mann Gulch Fire at a location known as the Gates of the Mountain. Smoke Jumpers of the U. S. Forest Service responded to a wildfire call in what should have been a routine in and out mission.
Young Men and Fire is a story about failed leadership and in the words of the author, it is about a young crew who “hadn’t learned to count the odds and to sense they might owe the universe a tragedy.”
This Dialogue series explores leadership principles and practices, drawing on the insights contained in a book that all participants have read. The Dialogues are facilitated in a manner that encourages participants to think about what they have read and imagine how an event or set of experiences may be applicable to their situation. Each Dialogue is led by a facilitator intuitively familiar with the book’s subject and purpose. Participants come away intellectually enriched by this communication experience.
