Each year, thousands of business stakeholders--from CEOs, senior executives, and department managers to mainline employees--climb into narrow 60-foot rowing shells and set out across rivers and lakes. As they learn how to row together--a process that requires focused communication and coordination--initial misunderstandings and general chaos are soon replaced with highly effective teamwork and goal-oriented success. The Rowers' Code dramatically portrays one company's intense experience and presents a simple, actionable set of truths about teamwork and communication that can be applied to every workplace scenario to supercharge performance.
