Introduction

Leadership and Influence is one of several courses in the Professional Development Series offered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Emergency Management Institute (FEMA/EMI).

This course has been well received since its initial offering in 1983 and was revised in 1990 by a Curriculum Advisory Committee, whose members included specialists in the emergency management field from areas throughout the country who had served as instructors for the course.

Participants completing the Leadership and Influence course will be able to lead and influence others in the demanding setting of emergency management by range of skills in a variety of interpersonal areas: conflict management, use of power, and group dynamics, as well as leadership and influence.
