Collaboration is at the heart of effective leadership. In this two-hour masterclass, Dame Jo Brosnahan will guide you through the leadership capabilities that enable true collaboration - within organisations, across communities, and with stakeholders.

• Harness whanaungatanga (relationships), manaakitanga (care and respect), and kotahitanga (unity) to create lasting impact
