Article Abstract:

Compaq Canada Inc's 10 financial managers spent a day at the Above & Beyond: The Centre for Adventurous Learning doing high-octane activities aimed to highlight the kinds of communication problems in the workplace and show the need for leadership in every organization. The centre designed a team-building program that combines personality and skills profiling with wilderness activities, such as traversing a 12.1-meter toxic river and scaling a 10.6-meter-high rock wall.
