Leadership - What connects an airline captain with a ship's captain?
Today we have a very special interview with two captains, recorded on the bridge of the Havila Castor on the way to the Norwegian Lofoten. The interview is in English. You can also find it as a movie on the Youtube channel of Pilot Impuls.
On the one hand, we have Captain Philippe Ammann, an experienced airline captain who has spent countless hours in the air. And on the other hand, we welcome Captain Björn Pedersen, who has many years of experience as a ship's captain in his backpack. Björn is the captain of the MS Havila Castor, which will only enter service in 2022 and sails the Norwegian coastal route. Together, they talk about topics that connect their professions - responsibility, leadership, the challenges they face every day and, of course, the incomparable joy they find in their jobs.
Both captains have gained extensive experience in their roles and are committed to excellent leadership and professionalism on a daily basis. Safety is the top priority for both of them, which they achieve through a people-centered management style. It is important to them that they are perceived as approachable. Both are convinced that teams in which employees dare to think openly and honestly are more motivated, more productive and safer.
In this captivating conversation, we delve deeper into the parallels between the job of an airline captain and a ship's captain. We learn how both captains deal with the responsibility that rests on their shoulders. They give us insights into how they inspire and lead their crews to overcome challenges that arise in their dynamic environments. And last but not least, they talk about what they enjoy most about their jobs.
Enjoy the fascinating exchange of ideas between Captain Philippe Ammann and Captain Björn Pedersen.
