Dominik Neidhart – Working to Win: It’s all a matter of trust
No matter the industry, leaders are faced with unprecedented change, challenges and fierce competition from disruptive technologies. Their ability to chart their own course is continually being affected by unpredictable customers, ever changing mandates and fierce competition. What’s needed is a new approach to cement their underlying foundation and shift their energy to make it work for them and not against them…in other word: Work to WIN.
Domink Neidhart is a professional sailor who victoriously competed in America’s Cup. As a crew member of the Swiss sailing team Alinghi, he saw how trust became the prime driving factor and made their seemingly impossible victory possible. They were a sailing team from a landlocked country who banded together to win the oldest and most complex sports trophy in the world.
Dominik Neidhart – Key Takeaways from his keynote:
- Even though you can’t measure it, trust reduces complexity and improves team relationships
- It all comes down to the quality of people on your teams and how they interact with each other
- Trust is the underlying foundation to work together
- The key is to have one common goal and make the most out of its potential
There are many aspects of sailing that can apply directly to how leaders can successfully manage their teams. The topic of co-creation, collaboration, and cooperation concern every company, but more importantly, Dominik stresses to audiences that it’s how you harness the energy of your team and establish their unique identity that starts the process.
He tells tales from his personal experience and reminds participants that when he is on a boat and the wind shifts, the crew has no choice but to trust each other while continuously adapting and making crucial changes, and that is what you and your team need to learn to do.

He has scientifically processed these experiences about teamwork and also published them.
With his lectures and masterclasses on practical cooperation, Dominik Neidhart supports committed industrial and service companies in their cultural transformation. He is adept at steering them away from the internal competition culture towards a successful culture of cooperation.
