Adaptability
Adaptability is the capacity of being open-minded and flexible with creative approaches. Namely, when things don’t go as planned, seafarers must be ready to look at the situation in a new way to find an alternative solution. In order to improve the adaptability skill, seafarers must work on their metacognitive ability, which is the ability to think about the way we think. In order to do that, seeking feedback and reflecting on it are key elements, enabling seafarers to extract critical lessons from their experiences and maximise learning.
