A veteran FDNY firefighter describes the field-tested management strategies that help commanders lead teams into a raging fire, explaining how the fire department develops loyalty, trust, and grace under pressure and how such principles as "first in, last out" and "develop your people" can be adapted by leaders in any field of endeavor.

First In, Last Out: Leadership Lessons from the New York Fire Department | John Salka

While there a few nuggets of wisdom in there, the book is more of disorganized thoughts on leadership as opposed to a coherent message as to what leadership looks like. Also the writing style is overly informal which results in a lot of filler sentences that don‘t need to be there. The book would be reduced by a third if all the “what I mean to say”s and similar phrases were removed. He might be a great mentor/leader but he‘s not a good writer.
