Question: why do they need any of that at all? Why have your employees do this stupid shit? What does it accomplish? Can the bros really not think of a better way to spend $500k? Does this really enhance your product? Does this really help people get their work done and gel as a team? Or... is it really so the CEO can say "hey guys, guess what we did, lol (not me, i was faking E.Coli so i could stay in my room)" to his cadre of other insufferable douchebags at the next conference?
Less of a need and more of what would be beneficial. They don't actually need any such training but one thing the armed forces teaches in basic is how to work together, even with people you don't like and that would be beneficial in an office environment (have you ever tried herding cats into a coherent meeting).
But it's a moot point as those with an abundance of ego and dearth of talent or self awareness would never accept that they'd learn anything from "basic" training.
