Servant Leadership: “The servant-leader is servant first…It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead. http://www.greenleaf.org
Servant leadership in Traffic Incident Management needs national, state and local leaders asking those working on the highway — what do you need to make your job safer with quicker clearance?
The list includes Slow Down/Move Over laws, signs and public awareness * Emergency Scene Ahead signs * Emergency preemption of traffic signals * 2/10 Mile Marker Sign * Traffic Incident Management training * Towing and Recovery agreements * Hazmat plan on cleaning highway so the traffic can flow * Have a Quick Clearance Fund for those times when the insurance company is slow to say they will pay for removal of traffic accidents.
