Jon Gans, Executive Director of the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) does a nice job of describing, in the Harvard Business Review, how a NOLS course can help business leaders examine their leadership styles in the wilderness environment and then apply their new found experience in their work setting.
In our work we have found that more and more frequently the business world is trying to create a flatter hierarchy. The wilderness environment is a great place to try to practice it. The challenge, we have found, is to get business leaders to see, understand, and lead in a new business world paradigm. When we get them to buy in the results have been nothing short of amazing.
