Introduction: Lisa Rogers
To introduce the series, Dom chats to Rural Leaders CEO Lisa Rogers about the recent ‘A Path to Realising Leadership Potential in Aotearoa NZ’s Food and Fibre Sector’ report and her role in the whole process.
Part One: Chris Parsons
Dom talks to Parsons about his contribution to the report: Why we lead.
In the report, this section begins with a brief introduction to the sector and its history. It then discusses the changing world of work and the workforce, and the ways in which an evolution in our approaches to leadership can benefit our people, our economy, and the natural world.
Part Two: Dr Ellen Joan Ford
Dom talks to Dr Ford about her contribution to the report: How we lead.
Dr Ford’s part of the report examines the qualities of effective leadership and opens the door to a new principles-centred leadership model made of three elements: context, principles, and dimensions.
Part Three: Josh Williams
Dom talks to Williams about his contribution to the report: How we grow leadership.
The final part of the report introduces the leadership development ecosystem that provides a framework for better systemising how the sector develops a continual flow of prepared leaders. At an individual level, it also invites you to consider how your own leadership, and the skills of those around you, can be grown through personal discovery and development.
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.
