Welcome everybody
to Lost at Sea,
which is a simulation to
help us understand the
challenge of teamwork.
For this purpose,
we're going to go on
a blue ocean sailing
expedition to test our skills.
Now I'd like to
introduce myself.
I'm Dr. Stephanie Jones.
I'm associate professor of
Organizational Behavior at
Maastricht School
of Management in
the Netherlands
teaching leadership
and team work very often and
I'm also involved in
practical sailing so
this is based on my own research
to present this
simulation to you.

I have a basic sailing
qualification,
and I have a lovely sailing
yacht in Malta in the
Mediterranean, and even
perhaps a lovelier one,
a larger one in New Zealand.

In any kind of sailing,
short local cruises
or even long,
tough races crossing oceans,
we show our approach to
teamwork and this is the way of
measuring the way we
approach this challenge.
Now there are many
different ways that we can
show our skills and some of
us have certain preferences.
We can be very good at creative
problem-solving, being
an ideas person.
We can be resourceful,
good at making contacts,
getting things fixed,
and we can be very focused on
coordination and pushing others
to overcome their barriers.
Fourthly, we can be good at
careful decision-making,
seeing what could go wrong.
We can be focused on making
sure everybody is happy and
comfortable and that's
very important.
Sixthly, we can be hard-working,
good at obeying
orders, reliable,
get on with it beyond time,
and we can be experts
in our specialist area,
particularly in navigation
and seamanship and
showing our strong areas that
we're very, very good at.
