SIMAC Training has published books within Operational Leadership written by 2 psychologists.
Psychologists Ivan Doulgerof and Frank Lamberg Nielsen are the authors of these two manualized leadership books about Emergency Preparedness. One book is aimed at navigators, while the other is aimed at marine engineers. Both psychologists have operational leadership backgrounds and experience in managing acute critical situations in operational environments.
The books provide clear and practical guidance for anyone working in operational working environments where the risk of acute critical situations is always present. Throughout the manualized leadership books, the authors provide concentrated and easily readable knowledge about operational leadership. The step-by-step approach is both structured and coherent, with operational psychology being a common thread in both books.
