#36 - Leading from Every Angle: Strengths, Standards, and the Next Generation of Leaders

In this episode, Eric Clauss sits down with two dynamic leaders who are shaping leadership development across Tennessee’s EMS community—Jeff Masten, a 25-year Stryker veteran known for his engaging leadership workshops and people-centered philosophy, and Assistant Chief Elaina Brown of the Nashville Fire Department, whose work in supervisor training is redefining what it means to prepare the next generation of EMS leaders.

Together, they offer lessons from corporate, clinical, and command perspectives—each reminding us that leadership begins with understanding yourself, setting clear standards, and developing others.
