Why develop leadership
Good leaders drive performance further. They are
an enabling force, helping people and organisations to perform at
the highest level. Besides they are the decisive factor in the
creation of an environment of coaching, support, delegation,
motivation, and empowerment.
In order to be able to fulfil this performance
driving role, the company values and goals must be embodied in the
leader and he/she must possess the knowledge, ability and tools to
act as a competent leader.
In addition, shipping companies and their
employees are constantly under pressure from external bodies to
perform and comply with requirements. To manage this process
effectively shipping companies need good leaders.
What drives performance
Leaders build their efforts on the Performance
Management System (policies, procedures, company strategy, KPIs,
performance reviews, etc.) and thus it is the leaders' task to
communicate their relevance for the job function of each individual
employee. On top of that they should also know how to make them
commit. Green-Jakobsen can provide guidance to the process of
changing or improving the employee attitudes.
