Rising From Ground Zero: FDNY Path Through Crisis and Transformation

JOIN US!  Dr. Greg Shea, Senior Fellow, Wharton Center for Leadership and Change Management, has just published a fascinating book, “Rising From Ground Zero: FDNY Path Through Crisis to Transformation”. Dr Shea will present an overview of his book, highlight the decade of interviews and investigations done along with his co-authors to deeply consider with the firefighters and all levels of leadership.  Dr. Shea will then be joined by WCNCR Patron, Dr. Michael Useem for an in-depth Q&A on lessons for leaders.

The FDNY lost 343 firefighters on September 11, 2001. Rising from Ground Zero tells the story of what came next: the rescue, the recovery, the grief, and the choice few organizations ever face — whether to rebuild what was lost or reimagine what the institution could become. The FDNY chose to transform.
