Our mokopuna (grandchildren) will know and accept te tirohanga Māori ki te ao (the Māori worldview) as an integral part of life in Aotearoa. And to them I say kia kaha (keep it up). The future of the New Zealand economy is Māori, and it’s bright. As directors, these are the values of your future employees, customers, shareholders, stakeholders, and business partners.
Which leads us to the natural conclusion that an understanding of Te Ao Māori must be a core competency for all New Zealand directors.
