"Authentic Kiwi Leadership in the 21st Century" from key note speakers...
|
|
|
|
"For me, authentic ‘kiwi’ leadership in the 21st century is characterised by being courageous - the dare to be different, to take risks and have the emotional fortitude and stamina to persist." - Parekawhia McLean, CEO, Waikato Tainui
|
|
|
|
"Leaders who believe it’s all about them or who see themselves as the fountain of all knowledge will fail. Leaders who see themselves as the conductor of an orchestra of diverse people where it is the people who actually deliver the ‘magic’ are far more likely to succeed." - Naomi Ballantyne, MD, Partners Life
|
|
|
|
“Really promote your vision clearly – no one is going to get on the vaka without a clear vision” - Adrian Orr, CEO, NZ Super Fund
|
|
|
|
"Authentic leadership is changing…. We are trying to get to a platform where culture is key to leadership, the future to our society and the way we engage with the world." - Michael Stiassny, President, Institute of Directors
