NOTE: The inclusion of these ‘home movies’ taken while Colin was the guest of CTI does not imply that any of the interviewees or CTI, or Police Dynamics endorses Character Works, an entirely separate Australian program. We just included them because they illustrate so well what a character emphasis can do.

THE MAJOR If character principles work in a jail and reduce friction, disputes and disruption, then there can be no reason whyyou would not install values, ethics and character in your organisation.

CHARACTER EXPLAINED Colin Pearce explains how the word ‘character’ entered our language and what it really means. It has nothing to do really with being a witty person or the life of the party or even a rascal. The origins of the word point to the importance of establishing life-long goodness.
