Leader-Ship Solutions

Set Your Course for Excellence with Leaders-Ship in the Sailing Classroom.

No sailing experience required: less experience equates into quicker results.

This course is designed to help teams look at personal, leadership/team building, skills as a long term goal instead of a series of learned techniques. It builds internal motivation for sustainable performance improvement. Physical and mental exercises coordinate to expose obstacles for leadership and team work. Teams see leadership skills in action and aspire to gain these skills. This is the make-up of an effective team. This classroom parallels the work environment with real life situations since team tools are inherent in Leaders-Ship. In other words, Leaders-Ship combines powerful content, cutting edge research with expert facilitation. This is the best approach for developing teams and cultivating leadership. It engages teams to foster innovation while shifting from practicing skills to teaching skills to other team members and sharing risk taking.

Some team members already hold some skills: time/diversity/crises management, accountability, communication, negotiation, problem solving, hiring practices, etc. Such skills might take months to evaluate in the work place. In contrast, "role playing" or other idiosyncrasies which block reaching objectives (destination) are easily identified in "action oriented" Leaders-Ship. Subsequently, participants commit to the (team's) company's objectives and to its mission (destination). The result is higher improvement in leader's/team's competencies, greater impact on business, and greater ROI.
