Abstract

Leadership is an influential process generally exerted by a person, and by this way another person or group is guided to the establishment and to the reach of several goals. Such influence can be exerted in many ways, initiating several styles. The leader, either through position or influence, can establish positive or negative behavioral attitudes according to how he manages emotions and relationships. When leaders establish secure bonds, they propitiate the development of reliable relationships. Thus, the theme of this study is the interpersonal relationship of the Captain in the Merchant Navy. The purpose of it is to deal with the main theories about the theme “leadership” and how such theories can be applied during the day by day of the maximum leader of a vessel, represented by the figure of the Master. As a basic inspiration, beyond the considerations of renowned authors in order to talk about this important theme, there are the teachings transmitted through the masterpiece of the Navy Captain Mr. D. Michael Abrashoff “It’s Your Ship”, in which he generously shares his experiences that can be applied by any leader in any organization. It consists in a bibliographic research of qualitative nature that was made based on books, academic articles, newspapers, as well as on virtual publications on the internet.
