1) The perfect Balance : TO ensure the boat floats properly it is critical to balance by having the heavier and lighter people on both sides. If they are stacked up on opposite sides then its time to pick up the life jacket. Same case when there are various teams working together it is crucial to ensure that people with strong profiles are complemented with weaker ones on both sides for optimum performances.
2) The helping hand: For most of the people to get on boat it is essential that at least one of the passengers extend out to reach for them and help them get into the boat. In an organization this is the duty of the HR team to pull them in properly and smoothly and the reaching out process is the Induction programme which sadly is neglected or done in a bad way.
3) The enjoyment: Its an initial anxiety when the boat starts it is shaky but everyone then enjoys the ride. Similarly it is essential that people understand that everything may not take off smoothly but when its smooth everyone can enjoy so its not wrong to satisfy your personal interest in benefit of team's need.
4) The expert: When you are out on the ocean then the best thing to do is trust the sailor who is navigating as he knows the route and at stake is the lives of people. Similarly when there is an expert who knows a specific area its better to give him a free reign than form a team and sort out an issue.
5) Trust: When you are on the boat with a team you have to trust them and trusting them is the only thing. You cannot afford to distrust anyone as it will hinder you only.
6) Big Picture: Business is like sailing anytime a wave can carry you but the same wave in another form can drown you. The consumers who make the company great can also take the shape of shareholders and lenders and drive the company for their interests so be aware of the wave.
