Sheffield South Island Leaders Breakfast

It was an honour to co-host guest speaker Rt Hon Sir Jerry Mateparae, GNZM, QSO, KStJ at our Leaders Breakfast with The Institute of Strategic Leadership last week.

“Leadership is about knowing your business, knowing your people and knowing yourself”

Sir Jerry delivered a very insightful perspective on leadership, with the main takeaways being:

- Know your business, people and self
- Vision and values are crucial in any culture shift
- Have a plan – but this only gets you to the start – you then need to know how to make it work
- Give people space and time to speak and be heard … and most importantly … listen
- Leadership of others requires high trust

On reflection, what was very evident, was that humility and humble leadership are at the core of this understated but impressive New Zealander.
