"Kiwis seem to be debating the big issues more than ever before. Whether it’s house prices, the state of the economy, or the performance of our political leaders, most of us aren’t lacking for an opinion.
One of the things we don’t talk about that much is the need for good leadership. And it’s not just the politicians that need to take note. Whether you are running a sports team, a small business, a big business, or even a school, good leadership will see goals achieved and better outcomes generated."
Join company director and business adviser Bruce Cotterill as he talks to leaders about leadership. For his second guest, Bruce is joined by the former Reserve Bank Governor and National Party leader Don Brash, to talk about his experiences in the public sector, politics and his thoughts on recent fiscal hole drama.

What a shame Bruce, that you didn't take the opportunity to quiz Mr Brash on the fact that 90% of NZ's monetary and fiscal problems, as well as our completely outrageous real estate prices, are caused by two very simple phenomena...
#1 Orthodox Western economic theory is based on totally false maxims that completely ignore the way that money is created. This is largely what creates asset bubbles as this system fails to create liquidity for the real economy in order for it to thrive and avoid debilitating inflation which is a blatant tax on the 99% in favour of the 1%.
#2 The Central banking industry of the Western world, including of course the RBNZ, base their policy on…
I could have done without Bruce Cotterill slightly ridiculing Don for opting to break such successful career to enter politics. People choose politics for idealistic reasons - or when somebody finds one particular societal or political issue to fight for or against. Both reasons are honourable and admirable - I can think of no more awesome or important task than to be elected by your country to be a parliamentary legislator.
Our problem over the last couple of decades is that politics in our Western democracies has become overwhelmingly dominated by certain popular attitudes to a series of issues - these attitudes best described as "wokeness". Politicians following these attitudes are best described by Thomas Sowell as having "unconstrained politi…
NZ Government needs some intelligence! This is a great interview.
Pure honest high quality conversation , loved it . Thank you .
I have to say Don was not my favorite person when in the reserve bank but since the poorly received Orewa speech I have so agreed with his thoughts, policy and views in so many ways. He is a stickler for racial equality which in every way is now seen to be so important.
New Zealand needs to become one country again beyond the reach of the minority radicals.
Don has it sorted and I have the greatest respect for his comments and expertise.
Keep up the good work Don and thankyou!! God help NZ if we do not stop the racist greed and bastedization of the Treaty and the wasted spending of this lot!
