I was shocked to hear about the death of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Officer during the rock climbing training. I hereby wish to mourn the victims and their families. I also hope that the community will not classify climbing as a dangerous sport because of this news. We were not on the scene at the time of the incident, so we could not understand the truth of the matter. However, the practice of using various types of outdoor activities as business management training tools has been developing rapidly in Taiwan for the past few years. Basically, this kind of empirical learning theory is a kind of Very effective training methods, but as mentioned in the news commentary, these trained middle- and high-level corporate executives are mostly used to desks. They are basically physically weak. If they are suddenly required to work harder or need a little more adventurous Activities may require special attention.
Here, we have a little experience to share with you. In January of this year, 10 of our company's employees made a special trip to Chicago, USA. We are cooperating with Dr. Susan Harper, Ph.D., organization psychology, University of Chicago and Tony Peeters, AMGA senior climbing guide. Corporate Climb Enterprise Climbing Training. What this course needs to convey is: let the participants learn the skills of teamwork, the manager recognizes the power of group intelligence, everyone can profit from the activity experience and grow, and bring this experience back to work. The organization will instantly produce a new one! energetic! Willing to accept change, not afraid of failure. Through rock climbing activities, teams work together to overcome psychological fears and work out strategies to complete the challenges ahead. Participants will unite more closely and effectively.
According to the analysis of Dr. Gary R. Oddou of the San Jose State University Business School in California, the theoretical basis for this kind of climbing management training is based on the following three assumptions:
1) The conception of risk
Most of the trainees did not have the experience of rock climbing. When they walked into the rock climbing ground and saw a tall rock face at first glance, their thoughts were: Horrible, how could I climb up? I am so old and so fat, let me! However, when these individuals are able to climb up after being trained by experienced trainers, he will find that his own thinking and behavioral patterns can be changed, and he begins to have confidence in himself. When individuals through the strength of group cooperation, the entire organization gradually achieves the goal of climbing on the rock wall (these goals are set by the organization members themselves), and the cohesiveness between organizations is gradually strengthened.
Danger plays a very important role in this training activity. The common sense of crisis allows each individual who faces it to temporarily give up the prejudices and disagreements between each other. In order to overcome the current enemy, the unattainable rock wall, All members are united tightly. Through this process of psychological change, individuals find that even individuals with different backgrounds, different outlooks on life, and different attitudes toward their work may be able to reach a common goal of a group through good communication and mutual trust and help, so the group’s cohesion is thus strengthened. .
2) Immediate and visible feedback
In day-to-day organizational operations, any decision made by a company often takes a long time to see results. In enterprise management training, this waiting time can be shortened very shortly. A decision on action can be seen immediately in the next minute. The wrong strategy can be corrected in an instant. Individuals and teams can immediately observe themselves. The performance and behavioral patterns, and as a reference for future actions.
3) Objectivity and Responsibility
Climbing a rock wall is like facing a natural challenge. Nature does not have any preset schedules and subjective attitudes. Decisions by individuals or organizations influence their plans of action, methods of solving problems, and results. Therefore, individuals or organizations must take full responsibility for the results. They will understand whether the success or failure of the organization is determined by whether all members decide to actively contribute themselves.
This kind of training for climbing team building has been recognized by many large companies and business management consultant companies in Europe and the United States. However, there is a very important concept throughout the entire activity. All trainers need to keep in mind at all times. That is to give the trainees the right to be challenged by choice, that is to say, for each trainee. He chooses his own physical strength, mental condition, and personal will, whether to climb in person, or as a surety, or as a commander to instruct climbing routes, or just cheerleaders to cheer for teammates climbing. Because, just like actual corporate work, the achievement of goals depends on a variety of partners with different skills. Together, they work together to win. Each person in a different position can contribute to the team. Therefore, in this kind of enterprise management training course, you do not have to choose or be forced to engage in rock climbing, because this is not a primary climbing training course. Outdoor activities always have its potential dangers. When using outdoor activities to implement business training, Challenge by Choice is an important consideration for the course designers. Interested in climbing rock like this kind of training, welcome to discuss together.
