Back in class again and all of a sudden the end of the course is looming up in less than four weeks.
I had a session with my 360 degree feedback coach yesterday. It is nice to know I am not a psychopathic axe murdered, but there certainly some areas to work on that I look forward to discussing with the team when I get back.
As I have said previously we have been doing some really interesting case studies on various countries from a economic and macro-economic perspective. It really makes you think about where a country can draw sustainable economic growth from. The other thing that is very apparent is who open and non-corrupt NZ is.
We were doing a case on one country which we observed was very corrupt. We have a few of their citizens on the course so as normal they are asked to provide a internal perspective. One of these people works for a major government institution and was asked directly about corruption and whether they endorsed/participated in such activities. The answer was vague and somewhat obtuse. Several days later I was talking to another participant who is in the same living group and he was sharing the fact (and humour) that this individual has a collection of wrist watches with him on the course, which he changes regularly, the most expensive of which is worth $150,000US. I am sure not there are no civil servants in New Zealand regardless of position that can run to those sorts of extravagances.
