"The place of te reo and tikanga Māori in the boardroom" with Ngahihi o te ra Bidois MInstD
Board Matters
09/05/22 • 17 min
With Māori language week coming mid September, Steven Moe sat down with Ngahihi o te ra Bidois t talk about Māori perspectives at the board table and embedding te reo and tikanga Māori in the boardroom.
Among his governance roles, Bidois is the chair of the Eastern Region Fish and Game Council and the Tauhara North No. 2 Trust. He is an internationally recognised inspirational speaker.
Te reo Māori is an official language of New Zealand and should be heard in our boardrooms, says Ngahihi.
He says Māori would be more likely to join the governance community, and enhance its diversity, if they saw it was welcoming of Māori perspectives.
Ngahihi o te ra Bidois is a Member of the Institute of Directors.

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.

"Where to from here?" with Melanie Templeton MInstD
Board Matters
07/17/22 • 10 min
Melanie says that directors need to constantly evaluate their skillsets to become more diverse, culturally aware and future-focused. Likewise, adaptive boards need to be culturally intelligent and have a strong emphasis on their own purpose as a foundation to build on. She says that Aotearoa New Zealand's uniqueness is drawn from te ao Māori and it's great to see it being brought more into boardroom culture and practices.
Melanie also offers us a challenge as directors - to engage with our stakeholders to bring benefits to our communities and the environment in addition to shareholders.
