ANALOG LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE™
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.
Through the program, leaders:
Develop deeper self-awareness
Recognize patterns in behavior and decision-making
Improve communication under pressure
Strengthen trust and shared intent in teams
Identify immediate, practical leadership actions for the workplace
This is a graduate-level learning experience informed by current doctoral research in I-O Psychology.

WHY SAILING?
The sailboat is not a backdrop. It is a living laboratory for leadership that societies have relied on for millennia.
Unlike a conference room or classroom:
• The wind shifts
• Conditions change
• Communication must be precise
• Roles must be clear
• Trust must be immediate
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. All programs are guided by USCG-certified captains.
