Big Questions

 SEALA 2, DAY 4 PART I


Human beings are complex systems of competing values and interests, fears and aspirations, which can clash during the process of making decisions. Leaders need to become more self-conscious of the factors influencing their behavior. Michael Kouly elucidates stumbling blocks on the path to making more responsible and effective decisions.



Ayesha contemplates the motivations behind her choices.



For example, Sridhar has decided to don an elegant striped shirt today. Free will, you say  or the sedimentary build-up of 35 years of influence and training?



The Big Question.



Leadership, and ultimately life, is about purpose. And getting in touch with one's purpose necessitates an understanding of one's own uniqueness.



Heavy stuff. Yet without possessing inner clarity about these intersecting questions, how can one allocate one's time and resources properly?



SEALA Malaysian Board Member Dato' Azmi Mohd Ali (Executive Chairman and Senior Partner, Azmi and Associates) is, without a doubt, a unique individual.



Meade breaks the bad news. During the lunch break, the good ship HMS SEALA has foundered at sea, thousands of kilometers from land. 



Seems like Ensign Harisingh Jawa and Chief Warrant Officer Murdaya fell down on the job (see SEALA 2, Day 1, " A New Dawn"). Abandon ship!



Cast adrift in life rafts in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, participants must work together, as a strategy for survival, to arrange their small number of salvaged items in order of priority.



Nylon rope or seat cushion? Mosquito net or sextant? Wouldn't it simply be better to stock up on pizza and Coca-Cola? Top could help out there... He and Sridhar thrash out the options with their team.



What the heck is a sextant anyway and does anyone know how to use one?



Feldatun's crew has put 20 liters of water at the top of their list. (Note from the editor: After four days of spicy Malaysian food, we heartily approve.)



The intrepid sailors of Learning Group 2 make their rankings.



 Jubilation from the survivors of the team challenge.
