Organizations are a lot like sailboats; both operate in an environment where conditions change rapidly and teams need to adapt constantly. When you change a course in a sailing boat, you need to adjust the sails to accommodate the change in wind direction.When you take your boat up wind, and steer more towards the wind, ultimately the boat has its head in the wind and loses speed. One can sail "close hauled", but not straight into the wind.To change course in this direction means tacking and leaves the boat a small moment unpropelled by the force of the wind, though when executed well, this moment can be short.Jibing is a different course change; with the full wind from behind the boat, and full power in the sails the team needs to prepare the change in direction well; the boom will swing from one side of the boat to the other, with the full wind pressure while the maneuver is executed. It requires balance, a well prepared team able to handle multiple sails to avoid a crash jibe.With businesses continuously exposed to the "elements" and in continuous transformation there is often no time to change the course through tacking, it needs to be done while the ongoing business continues to apply pressure and requires balancing the change from the current course to the new - while keeping the pressure on.This is where JibeCoach Interim Management assists.
