Debriefing In ‘Win as Much as You Can’, who was the ‘You’? How many people viewed it as a competition? Why? What behaviors did you see?

Integrity Code n n n As a lifelong member of the EMBA-Global Asia community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do. I will invest myself in the MBA learning experience of the Business Schools by adopting the mindset of a learner. I will behave with professionalism toward all constituents of the Business Schools by treating them with civility and respect. The EMBA-Global Asia Honour Code calls on all members of our School communities to adhere to and uphold the notions of truth, integrity, and respect both during their time in our schools, and throughout their careers as productive, moral, and caring participants in their companies and communities around the world.

Integrity Code “In looking for someone to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. But the most important is integrity because if they don’t have that, the other two qualities, intelligence and energy, are going to kill you. ” - Warren Buffet, CBS MS ‘ 51
