The NWCG Leadership Committee and the WLFDP


In January 2002, the Leadership Committee, chartered by the Training Working Team, began the process of implementing a Wildland Fire Leadership Development Program (WFLDP).

Leadership Committee Mission Statement

The Leadership Committee (LC) promotes and enables the development of leaders in the wildland fire service. The LC provides educational and leadership development opportunities, and supports leadership innovation and best practices throughout the wildland fire community.

Primary Objectives
  • Ensure that key stakeholders and partners are identified and engaged in committee activities.
  • Ensure that leadership training is of high quality, is consistent with program doctrine, and is aligned with target audiences.
  • Manage the Wildland Fire Leadership Development Program (WFLDP).
  • Ensure capacity, accessibility and quality of WFLDP products meet demand.
  • Continually seek to improve and incorporate best practices in leadership development.
Wildland Fire Leadership Development Program

Mission

To promote cultural change in the work force and to emphasize the vital importance of leadership concepts in the wildland fire service by providing educational and leadership development opportunities.

Program Components
  • Formal curriculum path that provides leadership skills training at all stages of an individuals career. In conjunction with this training curriculum, leadership skills will be integrated into the NWCG Position Task Book performance assessment system.
  • Value set that supports principle-centered leadership actions in a high-risk work environment.
  • Non-traditional leadership development opportunities that allow individuals to strive for a higher performance level as a leader through self-directed continuous learning.
This program is sponsored by the participating agencies of the National Wildfire Coordinating Group. The program components were developed by adapting "best practices" from a number of organizations that operate in high tempo work environments.
