I am a part time firefighter in a small town and I want to move to a big city. My captain says I've got everything for the job, except leadership/initiative. I do what I am told to, without much thought and when something unexpected happens, I fail to react by my own (my "creative side is lacking).
I am the type of guy that "do a course/training in order to be better at it". I have done lots of EMS/first responder certifications, part of a volunteering team in a big city and everything that could help me become a better fireman but one of the requirements to be a full time firefighter is show great leadership/initiative and it seems I am lacking
What can I do? How do you train leadership? I thought of joining the reserve army, maybe I can learn something

Might sound stupid, and maybe it's not your thing, but if you like playing computer games, raid leading and such is helpful in developing such skills.
If you can, start out with just a bunch of friends or at least nothing too important, so that if things go wrong, no one will be mad at and discourage you

You mean Coaching? How and where?

In my experience, the idea of organizational "leadership" is an outright facade. It's a bullshit excuse people have for fucking over the person of merit in favor of nepotism and quotas.

You have what it takes to do what ever you aspire towards, despite whatever those bums tell you is weighing you down.
