Best Practices or best thinking?

Given the organic, constant and inevitable nature of change in the fire service, how could we ever think that what works today will work tomorrow? The reality is, if a strategy or tactic is working now, the odds are high that it will not work in the future. There is just too much change taking place in our world for it to be any other way.


Many fire departments and leaders talk about “best practices” when what should be talked about is “best thinking”, because it’s our thinking that drives our actions, which over time become out practices.


Are you best thinking?
