Public Servant Episode 3 – Gary Ludwig, “A leader should put themselves at the bottom of the organizational chart.”
from Motivate with Coach Camp · host Coach Camp
This week’s guest is a modern day legend amongst the fire world. He has spent more than 4 decades serving communities, first as a firefighter and then as a firefighter/paramedic. Mr. Ludwig’s experience as a chief in both St. Louis, MO and Memphis, TN puts him in rarified company, much less the 40 plus years spent in the game. In this episode, Chief Ludwig shares with my listeners how he developed his love for the profession and how he continued to grow from one year to the next. Ludwig served in a number of capacities on the various departments which gave him a unique perspective on how the entire job operates. Chief has chronicled those years of experience and knowledge in his 4 novels and hundreds of articles that have been published in various EMS and fire magazines. With plenty of accomplishments to hang his hat on and be impressed by, I am most impressed by his humbled leadership style. I had the good fortune of having Chief Ludwig serve as my EMS Chief for over a decade and during that time I had the pleasure of getting to know he was not only a very knowledgeable Chief, but he was always available even. Without question, he has left his mark on the profession and I am certain that this interview will be worth your time.
