High ropes course useless for dysfunctional teams

Ropes courses have their fit with team building, leadership development
When properly facilitated any experience can be metaphorically tied-back to student and work life.The challenge for the consumer wanting a ropes course (challenge course) experience is to have realistic expectations of what can be done.

What team members should realize is that there are great team building activities out there that do not require a ropes course, that push your limits mentally and physically and allow the team to use all its power to replicate and solve work and organizational problems.
