WHAT IS ANALOG LEADERSHIP?
Analog Leadership¹ is leadership in non-digital environments.
ALI™ is rooted in a simple principle:
Humans improve at leadership when they engage directly with challenging experiences.
In contrast to the digital world that rewards speed, shortcuts, and surface-level efficiency, the analog process demands deliberate, sequential engagement with tasks, people, and emotional environment¹.
Leaders must learn to pause, reflect, and examine their decisions, behaviors, and outcomes. This reflective discipline builds the meta-cognitive awareness required to navigate complexity one step at a time.
This approach is grounded in research on analog vs. digital leadership and experiential learning². This is a graduate-level learning experience informed by current doctoral research in I-O Psychology.

WHY SAILING?
The sailboat is not a backdrop. Our methodology embraces the sailboat as a living laboratory for leadership that societies have relied on for millennia.
Success depends on a crew’s ability to coordinate action under uncertainty.
This constant interaction between environment and team mirrors the realities of organizational life, where leaders must guide people through change with clarity and trust while continuously learning how to improve³.
No sailing experience is required.
