Ngakau Rangatira He Tikanga Here // Strengthening Unity in Leadership

Ngākau Rangatira: He Tikanga Here — Strengthening Unity in Leadership

From understanding our roles to strengthening our practice — building the behaviours, agreements, and leadership needed to navigate the hard conversations together.

• 🗓️ Rāhoroi 9 May 2026

• ⏰ 9:00am — 3:00pm

• 📍 Venue to be confirmed — Tāmaki Makaurau

• 🌿 Free to attend

This is Part 2 of our four-part Ngākau Rangatira series. Our marae are not here for theory. What marae want is real kōrero that reflects their realities and leans into the common whānau dynamics our marae face every day at the tepu.

This wānanga is built around growing strong leadership practices closing the confidence gaps, understanding how we manaaki our whānau into roles, naming the behaviours and how to work through them, and building the strategies that strengthen leadership across generations.

Kaupapa Kōrero

• 🪶 The many voices at the tepu from kaumātua, pakeke, rangatahi, and those just finding their way home

• 🧭 Understanding the different roles, styles, and behaviours that shape how we govern

• 🗣️ Working through the dynamics of committees, boards, and the people around them

• 🌱 Succession, ahi kā, and growing the next generation of marae leaders

• 🛡️ Building the collective agreements that hold us all — regardless of background or experience
