“Sailors who were pressed together stayed together.”
– Evan Wilson –

I believe that a positive, inclusive culture is a foundational part of successful organizations.

(And no, I don’t recommend that you embrace this approach). To learn more, Click here for the book review of Sons of the Waves: The Common Seaman in the Heroic Age of Sail.

Stay safe. Stay healthy. Be strong. Lead well.
