Sailing to Success
A Leadership Workbook for First-Time Captains, by Lisa Reho
Character
The Hull
You don't rise to the level of your talent. You sink to the level of your character.
Clarity
The Compass
A ship may survive storms, but no ship survives drift. Choose your north, Captain. Then sail.
Conviction
The Keel
Stand firm, Captain. The sea respects only those who refuse to yield.
Cadence
The Rhythm
Your pace is their peace. Choose it wisely.
Command
Steady Presence
A ship follows its captain long before it follows its compass.
Communication
The Lines
A ship hears the captain before it sees him. Let your words lead them well.
Charting
Strategy
A wise captain does not predict the future. He prepares for it.
The Crow's Nest
Perspective
You cannot lead what you cannot see. Climb higher, Captain. See farther. Lead wiser.
The Crew
Trust & Culture
The greatest captains are remembered not for the ships they commanded, but for the people they led well.
Discipline
Standards
Discipline is the price of victory. Pay it gladly.
Resilience
Storms
A battered ship can still sail. A willing captain can still win.
Resolve
Finishing
Your legacy is not in your launch. It is in your landfall.
Legacy
What You Leave
What you build within people becomes the story the world remembers.
