Description and Reviews
From The Publisher:

Some of the most prominent and successful CEOs and executives in America are sailors—and with good reason. In both business and sailing, only the best-led, best-trained, most highly motivated teams win. But building a successful "team" takes years of planning, training, practice, and teamwork, with an absolute commitment to winning. In AT THE HELM, two-time America's Cup winner Peter Isler translates the secrets of success in the fast-paced world of grand-prix sailboat racing into a series of specific lessons that managers and businesspeople can apply to their day-to-day jobs.

Liberally sprinkled with entertaining, insightful, and cautionary stories from the world of sailing and business, AT THE HELM shows why it is essential to be able to change course quickly, how to "stack the deck" in your favor, and how to plan for the unexpected. In addition, Isler includes a section on assessing strengths and weaknesses, and offers suggestions on how to become a better "sailor."
The first book to apply the strategies required in putting together a world-class sailing crew to the world of business, AT THE HELM is the perfect mix of business and pleasure.
