The Open Polytechnic of New Zealand

The following comments are from participants in a six half-day Leadership process:

• My impressions of the program: Comprehensive, stimulating and at times controversial and challenging = excellent. I made myself read all the readings, will keep them to refer to later, a useful guide for how Facility Managers operates in the future. The pre-work was sometimes difficult to fit in. I appreciated your ability Bruce: to adapt to the group's current situation; to incorporate expertise from within the group; your sense of fun and individual approach to each of us. To someone else I'd say: "Go for it - if you get a chance to work with Virtual/Bruce - it makes a difference to how you view yourself and others and work. Taking all factors into account it was one of the best programs I've been to. Caryl-Louise Robinson, Director, Faculty Office, Open Polytechnic of New Zealand.

• For me it has been a fascinating journey...The readings I will cherish, and I have already started to read similar areas for my own interest. Bruce, on a personal note, it has been great watching your facilitation which I would be happy to follow. To someone else: If you get a chance do it. Taking all factors into account it was one of the best programs I've been to. Alison Holleyoak, Manager, School of Construction, Open Polytechnic of New Zealand.

• A lot was covered over a series of six half-day sessions, with readings followed by activities within the group. It brought us together as a group, to understand more about each other and learn to value each others' contributions. Thank you for the workshops. To someone else: Valuable workshops and readings making us all consider the same ideas. Difficult to work with such a diverse group, but managed well. Anne Mason, Manager Professional Learning and Development, Open Polytechnic of New Zealand.
