Caren Rangi on whakawhanaungatanga and being good stewards

Caren Rangi has over 25 years of experience as a professional Board member for organisations across the private, public, non-for-profit and community sectors. Rangi speaks beautifully about the role of Boards and good governance, and about the process of forging and strengthening relationships, in line with the Māori process of whakawhanaungatanga - which is about creating space to connect with each other, build connections, and define shared aspirations. This episode offers the insightful story of a highly experienced governor whose unique lens on ethical leadership has been shaped by layers of indigenous wisdom, personal worldviews, and real-life experiences.This episode is part of ‘Voices of Aotearoa New Zealand’, a collection that features the stories of six acclaimed New Zealand change-makers and their personal journey of ethical leadership. Together, these stories offer a great breadth of voices that reflects Aotearoa New Zealand’s diversity: leaders from various cultural backgrounds and upbringings, who are anchored in different communities, and who are making a positive difference to Aotearoa’s future by shifting the dial in various sectors of the economy. By sharing these real-life stories in a way that is humble, authentic and meaningful, we aim to demystify ethics, and make ethical leadership a concept we all become more fluent in, and a skill we all become more nimble with. What ELS? is a podcast by the Brian Picot Chair in Ethical Leadership | Aritahi,  at Te Herenga Waka – Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. It is curated and produced by advisory firm Pocketknife.
