Rogues: by Mark vonAppen

I believe firefighters can be placed into 3 categories in terms of engagement and leadership.  Generally speaking: 

• 25% believe in (or pretend to believe in) current leadership staff
• 35% have no faith in (some of them even hate) the leadership staff
• 40% could go either way given strong direction and leadership

As for me, many would say I am a Rogue. I think I fall in the 40% though. I need decent leadership from above to know I am not being led blindly.I think the reason why some would say I am a Rogue is because I have always been the kind of person to ask the hard questions. When I ask, I look around and see eyes staring out from behind the couches.

That is just me…What about you?
