Tragic death of 21-year old Ukrainian sailor

He felt sick, and informed Captain and CO, asking them to allow him to move from direct sunlight into shadows, but his plea was ignored.

WHY PROFESSIONAL MARITIME LEADERSHIP?

working with Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity (VUCA)

Strategic Challenges

Destabilising global factors, such as geopolitics, disease, climate change, and economic instability, are disrupting the industry operating norms. Increased requirements to comply to differing global Maritime legislation and an evolving international sanction regime is increasing the compliance burden and is a significant threat to maritime operations.

Operational Challenges

- the drive for efficiency, profitability, and competitive advantages are unrelenting, with the unprecedented pace of technological change (embracing artificial intelligence, digitalisation etc) requiring perpetual transformation. The inherent dangers at sea and onboard safety risks are ever present, and should an incident occur, universal connectivity means a higher likelihood of rapid reputational damage occurring

Human Challenges

- The maritime industry continues to face difficulties in recruiting and retaining a skilled workforce. As all marine sectors grow, the emerging talent crisis is worsening, aggravated by aggressive competition from other industries. Simultaneously, maintaining interpersonal relationships can be emotionally challenging. This coupled with the requirement to live and work with other seafarers 24/7 for extended periods takes its toll physically and emotionally, impacting on individual mental health and well-being.

BZ’s premier training experience and consultancy background lay at the heart of the company.

Having staff formally qualified in teaching practice, training design, and experience in international leadership research means that BZ’s training methodology transcends simply teaching students leadership theories and knowledge. Capitalising on the latest thinking, BZ has developed its innovative ‘LEADER’ model, which underpins its leadership learning philosophy.

By applying the LEADER model, BZ training programmes provide a fulfilling and enjoyable experience that captivates interest and inspires a dynamic learning interaction. Trainers work to stimulate divergent thinking and then motivate students to explore and then appreciate the wider aspects of their personal leadership. Students are then assisted in their evaluation of how their leadership delivers against the organisational requirements and to consider the impact they have on others. Finally, individuals are encouraged to reflect on their learning and to utilise it as a springboard to improving their leadership in practice and how to apply it in their workplace roles.

Do you know where the inspiration for the BZ name came from?
