The concept behind SimuLearn Inc.'s Virtual Leader is a fascinating one, put a leader inside a simulated work environment to practice the tenets of three-to-one leadership. But it's in the implementation of that concept that this program earns its marks. The manner in which Virtual Leader's computer-generated, 3-D employees talk, react and display their support or disagreement is not only an impressive feat of design, but also an engaging approach to leadership training. SimuLearn has provided excellent background materials that bring learners up to speed quickly. Virtual Leader offers a promising glimpse into this genre and if the courseware is used per the recommendations, it should provide the learner with opportunities to practice in a safe and fun environment.
