2-18: Through the Lens of The Land of Oz

About this episode

This episode explores situational awareness in leadership and management, comparing the skill sets of paramedics and managers.

In this episode, we explore the idea of “reading the room you’re not in” and how situational awareness extends beyond patient care into leadership and management. We compare the skill sets of paramedics and managers, where they overlap, where they differ, and whether being good in one role prepares you for success in the other.
