Maritime leadership development
Even the most experienced maritime leaders face challenges in the leadership role and need good safety leadership tools to guide and support them. Our leadership courses introduce a new mindset with the goal of enabling the leader to create an open and trusting atmosphere, which also strongly effects overall (safety) behaviour and performance. We’ll help you diagnose your problem to find the most effective combination of leadership development modules to address it.
How leadership contributes to an open and trusting on-board culture
Improving safety behaviours is closely tied to leaders establishing an open and trusting onboard culture.
In this graph you see to what degree the individual vessels live up to optimal critical safety behaviours, signaling ideal conditions for their development when leaders cultivate trust.
In such an environment, the crew feel acknowledged, share knowledge freely, and embrace change. A culture grounded in trust and continuous improvement becomes the foundation, fostering a dynamic and constructive work environment where the crew actively contribute, learn, and adapt.
