Show Notes
In this episode Steven talks with Joe Hanita who was until recently associate director on Wakatū Incorporation's board (now in a senior leadership role) and also sits on a number of audit and risk committees of Māori entities.
Joe explores his long-term, intergenerational perspective on governance, rooted in te ao Māori. He says that good directors are open to learning from others and there needs to be a commitment to lifelong learning in the governance community. Organisations also need to have a greater understanding of why they exist and they need to have long term value creation as a goal - not at the expense of the environment but with greater acknowledgement of our interdependency with it. To achieve this, we need to be our authentic selves and become courageous leaders.
