EMS Chief Ryan Greenberg talks about working on the NEMSMA project to create seven pillars of leadership competency, which are meant to improve EMS management. The competencies develop a national framework for current and aspiring leaders.

“Each pillar address things you need to be a good leader.”
The 7 Pillars of EMS Officer Competencies are:
- EMS Officer Prerequisites
- EMS Officer Self Attributes
- EMS Officer Leading Others
- EMS Officer Task Management
- EMS Officer Innovation
- EMS Officer Social Responsibility
- EMS Officer Clinical Performance
Questions about leadership competency
As you listen to Chief Greenberg ask these questions about your own leadership competencies:
- What steps are you taking to grow as a leader?
- What levels of EMS leadership exist in your organization and how are they supported?
- What resources do you draw upon for your work as EMS leader?
