  29. ….. continueLEADERSHIP ETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTISES • Do the “right thing” (Obama vs Banks) • Get the team to do the “right thing” • Convince the politicians to support the “right thing” • The “right thing” was, to do away with performance bonuses !*

  37. ……….GOVERNANCE Judge King said: “It is more expensive to be legal complaint, to be delivery complaint.” In Swartland Municipality, we do not do things only to comply with legislation, we really try to effectively implement, to improve service delivery. We collectively create an environment that is conducive to perform and to deliver

  43. … RISK MANAGEMENT • The focus must be on: • GOVERNANCE • RISKS, and • CONTROLS • What is the reason for non-compliance? • Bad management/leadership • Bad governance • Napoleon

  44. NAPOLEON • “The General is the Army” • “There are no bad battalions, only • bad officers”

  45. Do you still remember: What next?:(1) Attitude, (2) Self improvement, and (3)Leadership development Why “Begin with the end in mind? Where or what is the “END” Searching for success

  46. DEFINITION OF SUCCESS
