Giving clear instruction across cultures

Posted by Rodel Abuy on January 18, 2019
Tags: Leadership in Multicultural Environment, Safety Communication, Safety Leadership

On many occasions one prevailing feedback from seafarer respondents in our Safety Delta surveys is that leaders are not always good at giving clear instructions. Why can the face-to-face instruction sometimes be so difficult, even if the leaders make an effort? Perhaps the leaders overlook the cultural variations in our way of communicating. One may be an excellent communicator when dealing with people from the same or a homogeneous culture, but what works in one culture may not be effective in others. This article provides a practical approach to this challenge.

Posted by Ida Krogh on December 17, 2018
Tags: Safety, Safety Culture, Safety Leadership, Safety Performance Drivers

It has a positive impact on the safety performance, particularly if the company’s safety standard is high and if the employees safety skills are constantly developed.

Posted by Sid Kumar on May 28, 2018
Tags: Safety, Safety Leadership, Safety Leadership & Behaviour

Teamwork is fundamental in our work life. When it comes to safety it is important that your team members back each other up all the time and will intervene if you are about to do an unsafe act.

Posted by Erik Green on May 26, 2016
Tags: Leadership, Maritime Leadership, Officers' Strategic Role, Safety Leadership, Safety Leadership & Behaviour, Safety Performance Drivers

A constantly returning request from the participants enrolled in the Green-Jakobsen safety leadership courses is advice on how to cultivate/change crew safety behaviour and awareness. This article argues that leaders who are consciously capable of creating/showing unexpected, different, grotesque or even wrong actions can stimulate change. It also argues that the strongest change is achieved when humans are fully aware of their own actions, beliefs and perception.
Based on these beliefs and to help leaders develop these skills five simple behaviour change strategies will be presented.

What can human behaviour do for safety?

Posted by Erik Green and Stine Skelbo on August 18, 2015
Tags: Safety, Safety Leadership, Safety Leadership & Behaviour

For a long time it has been discussed how human behaviour – or rather human error – impacts the frequency, nature and level of incidents and accidents on board. But isn’t human behaviour also the reason for a very high level of operations where people are NOT getting hurt? Yes, humans are the strongest asset for being safe because they are able to adapt to changing conditions.

Often they are good managers; unfortunately they are not always good leaders

Posted by Bjarke Jakobsen on June 2, 2015
Tags: Leadership, Maritime Leadership, Safety Leadership

Conducting a series of leadership courses brings us in contact with a lot of different people – some more motivated for learning than others. But also experienced leaders can discover new perspectives, and however challenging a training course can be it is important to leave with a good result. And when it even creates ripples in the water everyone is happy.

Posted by Janne Haugland on June 18, 2014
Tags: Safety, Safety Culture, Safety Leadership
