Team building

The importance of the team

Sport teaches us how, to be successful, it is important that the whole team participates with effort. The first rule of a winning team is actually being a team

The company and sailing

Sailing has become a model for companies:

:: Same organisational model

:: Preparation techniques (coaching/practice)

:: Group activity

:: Team management

:: Leadership

In a sailing boat as in a company:

:: Discipline

:: Self-control

:: Self-management

:: Respect for common spaces

:: Group spirit

:: Ability to adapt oneself

The metaphor of a boat relates well to our working day, as the unpredictability of the sea and weather

conditions is comparable to that of a competitive market. The similarity between sailing and a business are many:

The variables – on a boat you need to manage situations which change continuously and you cannot rely on past experience (the market continuously changes our way of working)

The role rotation – a boat allows us the opportunity to look at each activity from a different prospective :: Control – on a boat as in business, in moments of difficulty you need to keep your cool as rash or agitated behaviour can create panic amongst the crew and our colleagues

Teamwork – the success of one group over another, in equal circumstances, is obtained only if there is real teamwork

The leader – on a boat as in business, the leader’s (skipper’s) ability to keep a cohesive team is fundamental.
