Workplace Dynamics and Rank

The podcast delves into the dynamics of rank and hierarchy within the yachting industry. The discussion highlights the importance of adaptability in roles, emphasizing that regardless of previous experience, crew members must adjust to their current positions on the boat. One participant expresses frustration over another crew member, Carrie, who seems to misunderstand her role as a second stew by attempting to take on supervisory duties instead of assisting with service tasks. The conversation reveals a deeper issue where individuals cling to rank instead of focusing on teamwork and guest satisfaction, aligning with the idea that a good team player prioritizes helping guests over asserting one's title.
