The setting of many Leadership training courses is hurting the very purpose of that training: learning. The classroom can be really beneficial but also do great harm because it isn't necessarily a safe environment to learn. It is often a setting where one has to perform while learning is all about making mistakes. To be able to do that we must be in a place of support, not a place where you run the risk of being mocked for falling and not being applauded for getting up again. It is time for new methods. It is time to introduce VR into the arena.
