Managing Onboard Conflict: Supporting Captains with Coaching and Diversity Resolution
24/09/24 12:38
Life onboard a superyacht is intense. Conflicts can arise from many sources: competence issues, interpersonal tensions, bullying, harassment, or even prejudice. As a captain, you’re responsible for not just the vessel but for maintaining the morale and safety of your crew. Yet, resolving these deeply personal conflicts requires more than traditional leadership approaches. While top-down authority is sometimes necessary, especially in moments of crisis or safety, these situations demand a more nuanced and empathetic approach—one that invites collaboration and open communication.
This is where coaching and mediation—supported by Conflict and Diversity Resolution skills—become invaluable. Diversity Resolution provides captains with the tools to navigate and mediate these conflicts, ensuring a cohesive, high-performing team while maintaining and valuing the diversity of crew members.. We work with captains to develop and build the skills needed to manage and resolve conflicts effectively. Whether it’s addressing a competence dispute or dealing with issues of bullying, harassment, or prejudice, captains are supported in navigating the complexities of these situations with empathy and authority.
Through coaching, captains are taught to:
• Facilitate open conversations that allow crew members to voice their concerns in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
• Use mediation techniques to bring conflicting parties together, fostering mutual understanding and seeking collaborative solutions.
• Develop a culture where diversity is embraced, and differences are resolved respectfully—transforming tensions into growth opportunities.
Diversity Resolution helps captains move from merely “managing” conflicts to actively transforming their teams, fostering an onboard environment where respect, fairness, and inclusion are paramount. By using these tools, captains not only resolve conflicts but create a more cohesive, high-functioning crew.
If you’re facing tough interpersonal dynamics on board, let’s discuss how coaching and mediation can help you take the lead in resolving conflicts while strengthening your team.
