What Others Say About the Chiefs
"Having been a Branch Manager with Morgan Stanley since 1997, I have experienced the challenges of managing people through one of
the most traumatic periods in American History. During that time, I have had the privilege of being in the audience for three
presentations on leadership given by Chief Rick Lasky of the Lewisville Fire Department and FDNY Battalion Chief John Salka. Chief Lasky
is soft-spoken and eloquent. He is able to communicate on an uncommonly personal level the necessary and fundamental elements of
leadership - the same leadership upon which he draws to lead firefighters into the flames and enable them with the skills and
confidence to emerge from the ashes victorious. Clarity and good humor made the sessions enjoyable and easy. Chief Salka is a
one-of-a-kind character who has served in the abyss during tragedy. He shares his depth of experience effortlessly with the
audience. I left each time wishing I could hear more!"

everyone in attendance, especially in light of the recent dramatic world events. Your attendance was very important to our
meeting, as our theme was 'Heroes' and volunteerism in our communities. Thank you again for your time. It was an honor
to meet you!"

"Lasky and Salka can extinguish a corporate five alarm fire in a matter of minutes. No injuries, no smoke inhalation, no burns.
Just answers to tough questions. They have the tools and show you how to use them!"

"Just a note to tell you again your talk at the Medical Staff Meeting Tuesday night was exceptional. It was right on track with the
message the hospital and the medical staff leadership have been putting out to our physicians. We want them to be involved in our
hospital and our community. Again, great job!"

"I know leadership, and I know Chief Rick Lasky is a leader who embraces and teaches cutting edge concepts with respect to
management principles and their application to the leadership arena. 'Five Alarm Leadership,' a program involving well-known and
time-tested leadership concepts, is long overdue in its application to the corporate world. Chief Lasky is an innovator of note, and a
program such as this is sure to be of tremendous benefit to the current and future leaders in our industry."
