In this lesson, we will study the first two steps of Goleman’s four components of emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and self-management. As per Goleman, self-awareness is the building block of all other competencies. Without recognizing what you are feeling, you cannot proceed to other competencies. It helps you to handle your emotions in order to avoid its interference in work and use these emotions to facilitate and recover from emotional distress. Self-management flows from self-awareness. It helps to understand situations from others’ perspective and to cultivate relationships.

• Manage yourself through self-awareness 

• Establish self-control through self-management

As with many business practices, hiring techniques have been affected dramatically by the Internet. “Surprise” interview questions are now available on hiring websites, such as Glassdoor.com and Indeed.com. Candidates can practice their responses via video coaching until they are tweaked to perfection. And in the current job environment, the competition for great employees is strong. You have to move quickly and analyze swiftly to capture the best candidates for your organization.       

This video discusses some pre-interview, interview, and post-interview guidelines that will help you design and develop a winning hiring process. We begin with what to do before you’ve even met your ideal candidate and progress all the way to planning for their successful post-hire on-boarding and retention. 

• List the pre-interview tasks   

• Prepare for the interview  

• Identify the post-interview tasks

It is a law of nature, if you work with people, you’re going to have conflict. When people with different viewpoints, backgrounds, personalities, work ethics, and industry experience come together, discord and differences of opinion are inevitable. Wise leaders accept that conflict is a part of work, they anticipate it, and they have a plan to address it. Effective conflict resolution takes practice. You may want to ask an experienced colleague, your HR department, or your manager for suggestions on dealing with this issue. Just realize that while you can’t avoid conflict entirely, you can establish an environment and a process that minimize the damage conflict can cause. 

If managed well, conflict can lead to innovation, stronger teams, and greater personal development—for you and your employees. 

• Become aware of workplace conflicts 

• Set a protocol to handle conflicts

Your talent is your most important resource. Deploying it to implement different methods of coaching will not only help you to strengthen your team’s abilities, but also your own leadership skills. No matter where you are, no matter how many people you put together on a team, you will always experience the same phenomenon. Some team members will perform above expectations while others will perform at an average or standard level, and some will perform at substandard levels. Coaching is a performance process with lots of actions and steps. Let’s take a look at some of the ways to coach your team and how you can make the most of these opportunities.

• Identify how to coach the low performing employees 

• Implement the techniques to coach the average performing employees 

• Coach the high performing employees 

• Meet the challenges of coaching remote employees

ISM-koden (International safety management code – A.741(18)) er en internasjonal sikkerhetsstyringsstandard for drift av fartøy (flyttbare installasjoner til sjøs) og hindring av forurensing. Tolv år etter at ISM koden ble obligatorisk, gjennomførte IMO den første revideringen (gjennomgang) av koden. Endringene ble gjort gjeldende fra og med juli 2010. Den siste “oppdateringen” (forandringer) av ISM koden (2014) er gjeldende fra og med 2015. I 2017 vedtok den internasjonale maritime organisasjonen (IMO) kravet om Maritime Cyber risikostyring (datasikkerhet). Datasikkerhet skal nå være en integrert del av rederiets risikostyring for å håndtere risikoen for sine skip. Fra og med 2021 er kravet at håndtering av cyberrisikoer er innarbeidet i rederiers sikkerhetsstyringssystem.

Kurset tar for seg ISM kodens oppbygning og krav satt i koden. Samt hvordan selskapet (rederi) delegerer, og hvordan de involverte ivaretar sine oppgaver og plikter.

Kursdeltagerne skal etter gjennomført kurs forstå bakgrunn og formål med ISM koden. Selskapet sitt ansvar, samt være i stand til å bidra med å gjennomføre, evaluere og kontinuerlig forbedre et selskap sitt styringssystem.

In this lesson, we will study social awareness and relationship management that fall under the heading of “Social Competence” in Bradberry and Greaves’ model of emotional intelligence. Social awareness is the ability to use empathy and active listening to understand others better.

Relationship management is using all of your EQ skills to establish solid relationships and manage your interactions with others.

• Define social awareness  

• Build relationships with employees to enhance business outcomes

The impact of social media has dramatically changed the recruiting strategies. Evaluating and screening candidates for job openings also significantly changed. Today’s organizational hiring processes consist of software programs, technology, and behavioral science. Once applicants have responded to your company’s recruiting efforts via LinkedIn, corporate website, or other social platforms, what are the most efficient and cost-effective ways that hiring managers can decide to pursue suitable candidates? The answer lies in a variety of methods from old-fashioned reference checking, software programs that manage hiring efforts, pre-employment assessments, and so on. Let’s look at some of the ways you can use these tools to streamline your efforts and quickly identify the most qualified candidates for your organization.

• Review and shortlist candidates resume and use software applications to screen them   

• Identify the need to check for reference and social media presence of candidates    

• Conduct remote interviews for the first round of scanning

In today’s competitive world, businesses move faster and faster to stay ahead of the competition, develop new offerings, and keep up with client demands, employees need constant feedback, support, and direction in order to achieve those objectives.

Performance dashboards that automate company-wide goals, metrics, customer feedback, and other performance-related data keep leaders and team members aware of their progress. Instead of looking backward, the new model for managing and motivating employee performance is fast-paced and feedback focused.

Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.

Meetings are necessary, but they become intolerable when they drag on and on, start late, or the discussion goes off the track. It’s annoying when you feel that your time has been hijacked—especially when other projects and responsibilities are in the pipeline. Poor time management is often the cause of this distress. Meetings would be more productive—and less irritating—if all activities started on time, ended on time, and stayed on the topic. As a leader, it is your responsibility to ensure that meetings are of benefit to the participants and satisfy the meeting objectives. Running a successful meeting can be boiled down to three things: be purposeful, be engaged, and be respectful of the attendees’ time.

• Explain the importance of adhering to meeting time 

• Interpret the impact of delaying a meeting 

• Respect others’ time

"You build a great network by first offering your services to others, and by so doing, winning their interest. This is the foundation of building trust and creating a platform for them to invest in you in a reciprocal manner, such that it becomes a win-win situation.

"As a leader of a small or big team, you all are responsible for the budget allocated to your projects, which in turn is nothing but finance.

You must evaluate the investment decisions, such as return on investment analysis after you deliver the product or service that you are responsible for. As a nonfinancial manager, you cannot avoid financial information, profitability statements, rates of return, budgets, variances, asset management, and project analysis.
