Leadership styles: Progressive discipline vs. coaching culture

“Sometimes we made decisions and wound up getting corrective action where maybe a culture of coaching would have taught me to grow.”

Kelly Grayson puts the spotlight on fellow cohost Chris Cebollero this week as the pair discuss whether progressive discipline still has a place in EMS or if a move to a culture of coaching, as written about extensively by Chris, would have a more positive impact on retention rates, turnover, burnout and overall career satisfaction.

  • “This isn’t about me wanting to fire you. This is about me wanting to make you the very best that you can be.” – Chris Cebollero
