Description
Leading ambulance crews through the pandemic's first wave strained well-being, Jukka Pelli and Hilla Nordquist report in a 2023 Finnish study. Emergency services faced crisis rules for the first time. Thirty veteran paramedics wrote reflective essays during late 2020 about leading under those conditions.
Four problem families emerged from the essays: thin guidance, workplace reshuffles, mishandled mood, and too few coping resources. Crews felt orders shift fast while support lagged. The authors sort which failures came from leaders and which from the system. Emergency agencies planning for the next crisis gain a checklist of leadership traps to avoid before pressure hits.
