Leadership Behaviour?
This video is of the Czech Republic president stealing a pen at an official signing of an agreement between the Czech Republic and Chile. The story caused a stir in the Czech Republic. Czech television broadcast the video with red circles and arrows highlighting the pen. A spokesman for President Klaus on Tuesday dismissed the media storm caused by the video, saying the pen was "a common pen with a logo of the state or office, which presidents and members of their delegation receive during state visits". In fact, the pens are encrusted with semi-precious stones.
The 'theft' of the pen is questionable as officials said that the President and his guests were free to take the pen. See if you can answer one of the following questions......
Do you think this should be making the news?
Does the way that the President takes the pen make him seem like a trustworthy person?
What would you think if John Key behaved in this way?
How could we learn a lesson about the way that we behave in class / school?
Is the leader being a good role model?
(or you can share any other thoughts you may have about the clip)
