FORUMMAKASSARINFO.COM-Jakarta – Following the success of his first book, Captain Eddy Sumartono, a seasoned Master Mariner from Tarakan, North Kalimantan, currently based in Makassar, presents a new masterpiece: “Meretas Badai: Kepemimpinan Tangguh untuk Manajemen Bisnis dan Kepelautan”. The book, which delves into resilient leadership in business and maritime management, has also been released in English as “Navigating the Storm: Resilient Leadership for Business and Marine Management.” With this dual-language publication, Captain Eddy aims to reach readers around the globe, inspiring leaders from all walks of life with his unique insights.
Leadership Lessons from the Ocean and the Boardroom Drawing from years of experience as a ship captain and businessman, Captain Eddy provides practical lessons on leadership that transcend industries. His book captures the essence of navigating through turbulent waters—both literal and metaphorical—and teaches readers how to make sound decisions even in the most unpredictable circumstances.
“Great leaders aren’t those with perfect plans but those who can adapt and improvise when reality deviates from expectations,” Captain Eddy explains. His writing emphasizes that resilience and adaptability are essential qualities, whether managing a vessel on stormy seas or steering a company through market challenges. By presenting stories of real-world crises and the strategies that helped him overcome them, Captain Eddy invites readers to reflect on their own leadership styles. His core message is simple yet profound: In times of turmoil, staying calm and composed is the key to weathering any storm.
Bridging Cultures with a Global Message
Publishing the book in both Indonesian and English is a deliberate strategy to extend its reach beyond national borders. Captain Eddy hopes that leaders worldwide can benefit from his insights. “Leadership is universal,” he says. “It’s not confined by geography or language. I want to share what I’ve learned with anyone eager to grow as a leader, whether they’re in Jakarta, London, New York, Sydney or Anywhere.”
This dual-language approach also serves to foster cross-cultural dialogue on leadership. With globalization creating increasingly interconnected economies, leaders in both business and maritime sectors must now adapt to international challenges. Captain Eddy’s bilingual book offers practical tools and valuable perspectives that resonate across cultural lines, making it an essential read for a global audience.
