Our philosophy is to provide people with an environment that allows them to focus on real leadership and team working skills. We use sailing yachts because we believe there is no better way to allow people to focus entirely on their ability as a leader or member of a team to achieve their objectives.
The environment is real, it's challenging, and it invariably puts people in unfamiliar situations where they can't fall back on 'technical' knowledge when making decisions and seeking cooperation; they need to employ real leadership and team skills.
It is a fascinating training environment which allows participants to observe and understand behaviours and learn and develop the skills necessary to get the best out of themselves and the teams they are working with. |
We use sailing because there are striking parallels between running a yacht and running a business. Both are dependent on the following attributes:
- Clear objectives and goals
- Shared Vision
- Role clarity
- Confident and inspirational leadership
- Efficient management
- Strong teamworking with common purpose and reward
- Clear communications
- Measurement of success
