Maritime Leadership concept

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.

 

How shall leaders lead?

The interaction between the leader (officer) and the subordinate is a focal point where leaders on board and ashore can achieve considerable success and ensure the backing of their employees.

Leader-Employee Interaction:

  • Provide fair and accurate informal
    feedback
  • Emphasise performance strengths
  • Clarify expectations
  • Get involved in finding solutions
  • Amplify the good, manage the bad
  • Connect the employees with the
    organisation and its successes
  • Demonstrate credible commitment 

What we offer:

At our leadership seminars we:

  • Provide participants with leadership
    tools
  • Discuss roles and responsibilities
  • Discuss management of change
  • Develop awareness of what drives
    performance
  • Develop role awareness 

The unique concept of Green-Jakobsen Maritime Leadership training allows us to offer training modules that can be taken both offshore and on board ship. This gives the trainee the opportunity to actually test and utilise the new knowledge and tools when performing the everyday work tasks.
