Report Podcasts

Developing our sector's leaders.

The podcasts on this page provide support to Rural Leaders’ report ‘A Path to Realising the Potential of Aotearoa NZ’s Food and Fibre Sector’. 

Listen to the people behind this Food and Fibre CoVE commissioned report as they share more detail on its outcomes, including the leadership capability framework.

The outcomes of this report and these podcasts underpin the ‘why’ behind MyLead – a tool to easily access an ecosystem of programmes that seek to lift food and fibre leadership capability.

A Path to Realising Leadership Potential in Aotearoa NZ’s Food and Fibre Sector.

We share a four-part podcast from the authors of the Rural Leaders, Food and Fibre CoVE report ‘A Path to Realising the Potential in Aotearoa NZ’s Food and Fibre Sector’.

We asked the authors to each cover one part of the report with Dominic George, on REX.

Lisa Rogers, Rural Leaders CEO, introduces the podcast and is followed by:
Part One: Chris Parsons, MNZM, DSD – Why we lead.
Part Two: Dr Ellen Joan Ford – How we lead.
Part Three: Josh Williams – How we grow leadership.

Developing leaders in the food and fibre sector.

If we believe the Food and Fibre sector has a Leadership challenge versus a Productivity challenge, then developing our sector’s leadership capability needs to be a priority.

In this podcast, Lisa Rogers, CEO, Rural Leaders talks to Bryan Gibson, Managing Editor, Farmers Weekly about the recently released report ‘A Path to Realising Leadership Potential in Aotearoa NZ’s Food and Fibre Sector’, along with its leadership development framework, and the leadership programmes serving as key tools for building more and ever greater leaders for our country.
