In this issue Trudi West of Ashridge Business School reports on her research from the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race where she followed the crews and the dynamics within them to identify common capabilities that led to success. Heather Cairns-Lee builds on the sailing metaphor and many others in her piece on the power of metaphor founded on her doctoral study. And Kitty Chisholm describes the complexity weoften have in accurately conveying our inner thoughts.
