Welcome by President, Prof. Danica Purg

Just as in building and on-boarding a team in a business or for a project, in the rowing experience the quality of the team's response is highly dependent on the timeliness of the direction received from the leader. Input from team members and, in a business context, external input from customers all need to be listened to, heard, and processed in a timely manner for expected results to be achieved. The extraordinary leader ensures that feedback reaches the entire team and each individual team member in time to make adjustments and corrections. Through the rowing application, individuals and teams receive real-time constructive communication that can instantaneously affect the outcome of the race.
