Off-Site On-Water: Maritime Leadership Transformation
The sea teaches what boardrooms cannot. When familiar structures dissolve and solid ground gives way to constant motion, something profound shifts in how leaders connect, decide, and collaborate.
"The most interesting thing we found among all the groups we took out to sea, was the
disparity between what happens inside the boats and what happens between the boats."
Teams excel at internal collaboration, but struggle when complexity demands cross-
functional partnerships. In transitioning from a complicated event to a complex one, most
managers simply get lost.
Quotes from The Power of Collaboration: From Ego-System to Eco-System by Omri Gefen.
