Tang La Ao Qu Expedition 2007: Info for Participants

Be part of a 9-day trek to 6,330m Tang La Ao Qu summit in the Tibetan Himalayas. The award-winning executive development company, ALTEC, in partnership with the Tibet Guide School and the Tibet Mountaineering Association, is providing this unique leadership development workshop from September 28-October 6, 2007.

You can't learn leadership in a classroom.
The true test of leadership is one of character. It is revealed by how one responds to the test of new challenges. ALTEC's Leadership Trek series combine outdoor learning challenges with classroom simulations and studies of profiles in courage, to inspire young leaders to new levels of confidence and vision for themselves and their organizations.

Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it.
This unique 9 day learning event gives participants new perspectives on what it means to lead and how to raise self awareness to capitalize on strengths. The event includes extensive learning on Adversity Quotient (AQ), Visioneering and Team Leadership. It is especially useful for senior managers or fast-track young executives who are being groomed for senior leadership positions.

The Program
Leadership Trek '07 will focus on developing key leadership competencies based on the work of American Business Philosopher, Dr. Peter Koestenbaum. Koestenbaum's elegant Diamond Model of leadership focuses on four key areas: Courage, Reality, Vision and Ethics. By leveraging these four 'orientations' leaders grow what Koestenbaum calls the Capacity for Greatness. ALTEC founder Chris Barclay, an experienced mountaineer who has studied Koestenbaum and applied his theories in leadership training in dozens of top multinational companies in China, will be directing the classroom and outdoor learning for this special event.

Tang La Ao Qu - 6,330m
Participants will begin their learning adventure in Lhasa, for a day of accimitization, temple tours and classroom orientation, followed by a 4-hour trip to Tang La Ao Qu Base Camp at 4,800m. At Base Camp, the team will help stage the camp and receive a lecture from experienced Mountain Guides on alpine safety. The program will progress to Advanced Base Camp(5,450m), camp 1(6,000m) and culminate at the 6,330m summit before returning to base camp and Lhasa for debrief, awards and celebration dinner.

This powerful combination of experiential learning and enlightening reading and discussion will transform participant leadership competencies. The once-in-a-lifetime program also includes:

 
9 weeks e-coaching on alpine health & fitness preparation
