Experience on board - Leadership
Good day
everyone
I will share with you my experience on board ship , basically I have learned a lot of things on board ship , such as self-confidence and how to manage your things alone , and how to be a leader and guide people .
I remember my first time on the bridge when captain asked me Do you know how to steer the ship or not, then i kept quiet for a while and said No! Sir...
He looked at me and asked me to go and hold the wheel, he change it to manual mood and start telling me it’s very simple just like the car...
That experience give me trust on myself that i can do it and overcome the fear inside me.
Another example of gaining the trust is when there was a safety meeting or some speech they will push me to talk and explain to the crew some procedures and talk in front of them...
These things make me firm and build the self-confidence on me and encourage me to be a good leader.
I have sailed with different types of captains and i have learned from them many things such as how to make a decision and how to be firm, strong and confidence especially in the case of problems were everybody will be panicking and stress and they need someone to gather them and encourage them to stay firm and handle the situations accordingly.
I remember one day our ship suddenly have engine failure and the ship starts to drift towards island and our ship was around to go grounding, the captain been informed and he come up to the bridge were everybody was panicking he was relaxed and wise and starts giving firm and clear instructions what to do and how to handle the situation.
That experience was a motivation to me to be like my captain and have the leadership skills that he had.
Am very grateful to those whom have teach me and guide me through my sailing time and big thanks to those who have encouraged me to be patient when i had a stress or problems, it’s really good experience i believe not everybody can have it , and i hope to be a good leader and good captain in future. ..
