What Kind of Leader Are You at Sea?
Leadership on the water isn’t just about issuing orders—it’s about how we guide, influence, and support those who sail with us. In “You Are the Skipper… But Are You a Leader?” the author explores seven leadership styles and how they show up aboard: autocratic, democratic, laissez-faire, transformational, transactional, servant, and situational.
Every skipper has their natural way of leading, but the best can shift styles as the situation changes—commanding in a squall, collaborative during passage planning, and calm when things go sideways.
Which leadership style do you find yourself using most often when you’re at the helm?
Have you ever sailed with a skipper whose leadership style really stood out—good or bad?Share your thoughts and experiences below. How do you balance authority and humanity when you take command?
