INFORMATION is about weather, rules, sailing instructions, winds, currents, competition -- driving navigation and tactics -- like market trends, legal and compliance matters, data analytics. SPEED is about crew work, boat handling, performance and execution -- in business it's teamwork, efficiencies, innovation and communication, readiness, preparedness, anticipation. In today’s business environment, the key component focuses on SPEED! A NOTE FROM RUSS... In an era where generational blending and the soft skills of emotional intelligence and interpersonal behaviors become a necessary edge for teamwork and leadership, people and organizations must invest in their team's growth to gain the advantage, to gain speed, to compete, and to cover the fleet.
