Wait - it's only March...why am I posting about wildfires?

Because this season is looking to possibly be one of the longest and most challenging seasons in recent memory. The lack of snow cover accompanied by higher temperatures means that this season is going to start earlier and fires are going to burn hotter and longer.

I strongly recommend the Center for Disaster Philanthropy for regular coverage of the wildfire season and other disasters around the world. I used to do some research and writing for them, and they are a thought leader in disaster philanthropy, recovery, and general disaster awareness.

Learn about the major wildfires in North America in 2024, their impact and how to help affected communities.

Basic daily communication like this serves a number of purposes:

1) It informs the public that what they're seeing is planned and controlled.
2) It helps residents understand that their fire department is working hard to stay current and to be able to respond to the hazards in their area.
3) It helps keep timely and relevant information visible on social media by encouraging people to interact with it and share it.
4) It normalizes communications from emergency response organizations so people are more likely to seek them out for timely, accurate, and relevant information.

In leadership, the little things make a huge difference, and the leaders who understand this are the ones who ultimately lead great companies. Some people take these things for granted, but believe me when leaders show the simplest of gratitude to their team, it inspires everyone to give their best.

It could be something as simple as saying hello, writing a handwritten note stating you did an excellent job today or remembering your employees' names when greeting them. Leadership is all about people; it's about inspiring people to believe that the impossible is possible. It's about developing and building people to perform at heights they never imagined. It's about positively impacting your community, company, department, employees, and, by extension, the world.

According to Robyn Benincasa, as a leader, you don't inspire your team by showing them how amazing you are. Instead, you inspire them by showing how amazing they are.
