    According to Mark St. Hilaire (2012), “burnout or compassion fatigue has a major effect on many caretaking professions such as the medical profession, clergy and public safety.” Those working in the field of emergency services need a leader who understands what they are facing and demonstrates the compassion needed to address this burn out. A leader needs to be able to connect with those they lead to establish a relationship that can address burnout that many in the field may experience. In a research brief written by the Illinois Parks and Recreation Association, “leaders who practice servant leadership tend to be more trusted and are more effective in creating a culture of trust required to increase or maintain high staff morale” (2012). The benefit for leaders to utilize servant leadership is that they are able to establish a relationship of trust with their personnel, put the employees needs first, and create an environment where personnel know that they matter, which ultimately leads to higher staff morale.

This leader lacks concern for others and the climate of the organization, which leads to short- and long-term negative effects”. One would think that leadership gets better as you move up in rank in the military but I have a different take. I think is something that needs to be address in an educational manner.
