You'LL Learn

  • If corruption was a business, it would be the third largest business in the world
  • Corruption differs from country to country in terms of context because of differing cultures, value systems and attitudes and approaches –
  • There is no universally accepted definition of corruption
  • It is driven by globalization, the deterioration of social safety nets, the pressures of survival, the growing population, etc.
  • Underlying any discussion of corruption would be our values, how we behave which then leads to a consideration of integrity
  • Integrity is defined as acting within an agreed set of norms or values – in a team context within the team’s values and in society within the society’s values
  • On leadership you must take ownership and responsibility for the impact that you have on others – the problem may be you!
  • Leave the space open and allow others to fill it and give them the opportunity to share their thoughts
  • The ends do not justify the means – forcing your perception of what is right may not produce the best outcome – there are many paths you can take to get somewhere and sometimes a sub-optimal result is better because of the way you got there
  • Rhetoric is very powerful and as leaders we need to walk the talk – stand with your values and own your decisions - it's not what we say, it's what we do that staff pick up on.
  • It’s the behaviour at the top that will drive the culture of the organization
  • Too often when we see inappropriate behaviour or corrupt behaviour, we say it's none of our business but that is not true – we need to see it as our responsibility – we can all make a difference
