Question 1:
The well known sporting figure chosen for this particular report is Don Bradman. He was
one of the greatest international cricketer and batsman in the history of Australia. However, the
greatest achievement of Bradman in the world of cricket has been his batting average in the test
cricket that stood at 99.94.
Don Bradman’s dedication towards the sport and adoption of unique practice methods
with a stump and golf ball has made him the part of Australian folklore. This man experienced
spectacular rise from hush cricket and to the Test team of Australia in just two years time. With
his high scoring records, he became one of the sporting idols of Australia at a very early age of
22 years.
During the first 20 years of his career span, Bradman portrayed the capability of scoring
at such a consistent level that made him earn adulation of being equivalent to three Australian
batsmen. Don Bradman has not only been committed to the sport but also made the sport an
entertaining one so that it could draw huge number of spectators. In the personal front, he did
not believe in the close personal relationships and was a complex and highly driven man. Even
after his retirement he held a pre eminent position as a writer, administrator and selector. His
opinion has been sought after even after becoming recluse in his declining years. He was also
recognized as one of the greatest living man of Australia by John Howard, the prime minister
even after 50 years of his retirement in 1997. His image has also been a part of the postage
stamps and coins of Australia. The country also has a whole museum dedicated to the life of
Bradman while he was alive.

Workshop 3
Case study- Marco and Jim
Question 1
The Regional Manager of the Con Electrics, Jim, decided to meet Marco, who held a
contract of senior manager with the company in order to discuss his performance that has been
declining for the past few months. Marco who had a target of $1 million had been nowhere close
to reaching it. When asked for justification, he said that he would require substantial amount of
time in building contracts. He also mentioned that he was unable to sell some of the products to
the larger clients as they did not fulfill the commercial criteria. He also mentioned that he did not
like their top priority product, Galcore which was also a reason for the decline in the sales. He
also added that Jim preferred others over him and so was inclined in finding faults. He even
went on to say that he could not make an informal call to Jim whenever required and did not
ever receive a note of appreciation. The exchange of conversation led to a conflict between Jim
and Marco.
