Both teams worked really hard to get in the best shape.
The day the race started both teams were in similar
condition. ....the Japanese won by 1 mile.

The mood in the Arabian team was really close to the freeze point.
The top management decided to win the race next year. So they
established a team of analysts to observe the situation and
recommend an appropriate solution.

Japanese had 7 rowers and only one captain.

wisdom: they hired the consulting company to restructure the
Arabian team.

After several months the consultants came up with
the conclusion that there were too many captains
and too few rowers in the Arabian team. A solution
was proposed based on this analysis: the structure
of the Arabian team has to be changed!

As of today there will be only 4 captains in the team led by 2
managers, one top-manager and one rower. Besides that, they
suggested to improve the rower’s working environment and to give
him higher competencies.
