Leadership style that motivate me onboard of ship.

287 days, The period i spent onboard of ship. I wont say that i had a good time all the time in the ship. It was kinda rollercoaster ride...Full of ups and downs,stress, frustrations,happiness,sadness and all the kind of mixed feeling that one human can have. Moreover it was the first time I'd been at sea. Not only im the only one almost most of my ship crew experienced that. Whatever it is the work must be done in ship. So what is the solution for getting a positive outcome from us and to motivate us.
It must be good leadership style that must perform by the superior. Thank god all my superior were the best leaders that one crew can get.

Good leadership is very important because weak leadership provides no guidenes. It confuses people and demotivates them and create poor working environments.

Let me explain about leadership style protayed by one of my superior. He is one of the guy who mostly loved by the crew. I can say that he having two faces. The first one is tiger face, the second one is dolphins was. He will change to tiger in case there is need to control the situation in case of emergency of conflict. He will show dolphin face when he listens to others opinion. A good leader is also a good listener. He is also very decisive in making decisions in a needed situation. As you all know the hectic in inside the ship is hard to control because you are running out of time. As a good leader he will cooly handle the situation by delegating the work to everyone so that we can finish it early as possible. The calmness from the leader is what we needed as an employee because when we already in pressure we don't want any extra pressure from the leader itself. This is the main reason why my vessel always get praise from the office.

Other than that, he also never hesitate to recognize the good work done by any crew. This will motivates the crew to push harder to give positive results continuesly. Not only that, during the festival times he will organise games, so that the ship crew can get some relief from the hectic jobs and relax and enjoy themselves. This looks like small thing but its actually a big reason behind the positive outcome. Only a good leader will understand that the employees are humans not a man made robots. He also rewards people with his own money to motivates them. He will make sure the food served onboard must be A class because food is the top most motivation for them onboard a ship. Its must be maintain at top class if want to get good results. He also will take care of crew entertainment is well maintained.

From my point of he was an example to me how to be a good and effective leader. I learned a lot of thing from him and from his leadership style. If god blesses me and i become a captain i hope i can follows his footsteps to lead the cres members onboard of the ship.
