A lively voyage through the sailor slang that steered ships, built teams, and shaped the language of modern business and leadership.
Before "anchors aweigh" became metaphor, before "hand on deck" became management lingo, sailors were inventing the words that would eventually steer the modern workplace. Winds of Words is an uplifting, fast-paced exploration of how centuries of nautical slang, discipline, and camaraderie transformed global language-and the way we talk about business, teamwork, and resilience today.Far from being about cursing or conflict, this book celebrates the creativity behind naval communication. Sailors and captains needed words that worked: short, vivid, and unforgettable. From stormy decks and bustling ports emerged phrases still alive in boardrooms and startups today.
