Paul Henry's Blunt Speech - Is he rude but right?

If a politician lacks in social graces or statesmanship, can he make up for it with truth points? Or are voters swayed by likeable orators instead of valuing competent leaders?

Andrew Urquhart and his guest, leadership coach John Peachey, discuss Prime Minister Christopher Luxon's recent exhortation to business leaders, and broadcaster-turned-ACT-candidate Paul Henry's blunt criticism of school and parental discipline - or lack thereof - which has left teachers powerless in cases of student violence.

The Thinkfarm consultant maintains that good leadership requires honesty and courage to admit reality, rather than avoiding uncomfortable truths - as important in the classroom as it is vital to workplace safety.
