  Imagine that you are a shallow water scuba diving instructor You are taking your students for their final diving class You put up the gear, you give the instructions… And you  dive  with the group 10 feet... 20 feet... 30 feet...   30 feet was the depth you had in mind for the class But since it’s the last class, your students want to go deeper You oblige You go further deep 40 feet... 50 feet...

So you need to stop them from ship   First, you need to cut off the fuel supply to the main engine, even then the propeller continues to move due to the momentum in water which makes the ship move ahead   Eventually, it stops after covering some distance, called the stopping distance. Every ship possesses a unique stopping distance, ranging from 1-3 nautical miles!! As a Captain, I had to know the stopping distance of my ship very well, else I ran the risk of not being able to stop the ship in time and at the right point.   Why am I telling you this?   A good leader must know when to start new things als...
