Leadership defines the capacity of an individual to influence people by means of personal skills and qualities, in order to achieve a common goal. Management has a more defined focus, on the implementation of the planning, organising, crewing, directing and controlling of the operation of the ship. In the shipboard scenario the Master must meet their management responsibilities by motivating and engaging the crew, ensuring that they work effectively and collaboratively, possessing a deep understanding of the organisation of the ship, and the drivers that create a successful voyage. Ultimately, the glaring distinction is that management can be delegated, but leadership cannot.
