"Training and certification for Seafarers has been founded on technical aspects, but maybe the most important thing to do aboard is dealing with people. This book, written with seamen in mind, covers areas of expertise that every officer should know to improve motivation, engagement, teamwork, and conflict handling; in short, to be a leader. This book also covers the new requirements for every Officer or Merchant Marine, and can be used in courses on this topic. It focuses on seafarer's needs and the language used, avoiding the excessive use of psychological terms, yet keeping the accuracy."-- Provided by publisher
