Team Building


Work environments tend to focus on individuals and personal goals, with reward and recognition singling out the achievements of individual employees. To create effective teams is a challenge in every organization. The purpose of team building exercises is to assist teams in becoming cohesive units of individuals that can effectively work together to complete tasks.

The key to business success lies in teamwork. Teamwork encourages responsibility, creativity, productivity and efficiency. Reasons for teambuilding are: improving communication, making the workplace more enjoyable, motivating a team, getting to know each other, teaching the team self-regulation strategies, helping participants to learn more about themselves (strengths and weaknesses), identifying and utilizing the strengths of team members, improving team productivity, practicing effective collaboration with team members, etc.

Sailing as a teambuilding activity is a very effective and efficient way to realize the full potential of your working group. Sailing is one of the best ways to develop team skills needed in real business environment. Northwestern Company Ltd. offers a unique opportunity to attend the regatta.

Why does attending the regatta contribute to the development of teamwork more than other types of team building?
    In sailing, as well as in business there is a certain responsibility. Any decision in sailing results in a direct or indirect, minor or major consequences. While competing in the race, all members of the team must be able to acquire a certain amount of new knowledge in a short time and use that knowledge in practice. If teamwork isn’t at the highest level, if only one member of the team isn’t synchronized or makes a mistake, the results are almost immediatly shown through loss of speed and placement in the match. That is the link between sailing and business and the biggest challenge in sailing.
    In comparison to other companies that offer charter yachts poorly equipped to compete, Northwestern Ltd. offers for teambuilding a racing sailboat Beneteau First IMS 40.7, length 12 m. This sail boat is one of 5 prototypes Beneteau First 40.7, which was designed by Bruce Farr and is very competitive in domestic and international regattas. The same architect designed the boat BMW ORACLE Racing team for the America's Cup 2003rd
Why does sailing contribute to spiritual development of the team?
    Unlike other types of sports and team-building, sailing has a direct relationship between the activities of the team and the basic natural elements and content: sea, wind, waves, sun, rain, seasons, sky, universe, who will be faster, first, who defeated and all that just with the help of natural forces and changes in the race area.
    The actual event is guided by two experienced sailors, the skipper and another crew member. Maximum ten people can attend, and minimum eight are needed to manage the sail boat (this number includes two experienced sailors). Teambuilding is organized in two or three days (Friday-Sunday or Friday-Saturday or Saturday-Sunday), depending on whether it’s a one or two day regatta. The first day is reserved for a short lecture and training. After the race there’s usually an awards ceremony – dinner and gathering.
