“In Golden Stripes Captain Parani combines the credibility of his seafaring experience with his talent as a master storyteller to reveal the leadership challenges at sea and his strategies for staying on course. He transports you to the heart of the action in the engine room, the deck, and the bridge of the ship. Long after you’ve put this book down, you’ll remember the hard-earned and valuable leadership lessons Captain Parani so artfully conveys. It’s a one-of-a-kind book that every mariner will treasure”.

Inspiring leadership lessons from the sea”

“Captain Parani writes with clarity and authority. Through a blend of anecdotes and analyses, this book motivates the mariner to lead effectively at sea”.    

Captain Steve Clinch, Chief Inspector of Marine Accidents, Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB), United Kingdom.

“I believe Captain Parani’s book addresses a gap in maritime education and one that maritime universities are starting to realize. For too long we have focused on increasing the technical competencies of our graduates and are now realizing the most important ship in their career will be leader’ship’. Golden Stripes highlights the value of leadership through stories, quotes and experience and is an excellent primer for cadets and a companion book for experienced mariners”.
