A leader today must know how to be creative and to inspire creativity in others. A good example is US Captain Michael D. Abrashoff, who commanded what he called “The Best Damn Ship in the Navy.” He states his philosophy as follows: “I worked hard to create a climate that encouraged quixotic pursuits and celebrated the freedom to fail. I never once reprimanded a sailor for attempting to solve a problem or reach a goal. I wanted my people to feel empowered, so they could think autonomously.”¹⁵ In the modern maritime world, the empowerment that supports both creativity and leadership occurs in the system of Bridge Resource Management.
