Below is an excellent Firehouse Magazine article by Kanen Black on his experience with a lateral transfer. Mr. Black did not state his reasons for transferring to a new department, but feedback from my research focus groups has been that the firefighter wants to flee a bad culture. Fire department cultures are fluid, meaning they vary widely from city to city and depend on a few things. Culture becomes transmitted over time through role-modeled deliberate and unconscious processes by the accumulation sum of societal, communal, organizational, and individual attitudes, beliefs, and values. These things impacting culture are difficult to change but not impossible. It does, however, take patience and everyone contributing to its improvement. Changing culture needs examining the systems at every level, past and present, current problems, and future goals. Academic literature brought awareness to implicit processes starting in the late nineties, and it was then that organizations started evaluating their cultures. So you would expect newly incorporated fire departments like St. Johns County Florida Fire Rescue's in 1998 to have a vastly different, more modern culture than one established over fifty years ago. #culture #lateralhiring #lateraltransfer #firefighters
