Cynefin Retreat: Leadership & Ethics recordings (AU 09-23)

EAGLES

Each retreat is stimulated by a faculty, called Eagles, providing provocative food for thought and supported by the Cynefin Co team including Dave Snowden. Our faculties represent different backgrounds and points of view and we deliberately combine academic and practitioner perspectives.

Our Eagles for this Retreat were:

• Ingrid Burkett – Professor & Director, Centre for Systems Innovation at Griffith University
• Tio Taiaki – Associate Director, Maori Health & Equity at Deloitte New Zealand
• Jacqueline Boaks – Lecturer in leadership & ethics at Curtin University, VP of the Australian Association for Professional and Applied Ethics

Kia ora and greetings from Aotearoa New Zealand! As the youngest child of five, and now a devoted husband and father of three children – I draw energy, vitality and purpose in my leadership roles from having strong morals, values and principles, knowing who I am in the present, drawing inspiration from my past experiences, and pursuing what I want for my future, with enthusiasm and hope.

I’m currently an Associate Director with the Māori Health & Equity Division of Deloitte NZ and hold several board governor roles across public and private sector entities. My background includes leadership roles across education, social services, health, IT, financial services and community engagement sectors. Educated through a series of state and private boarding schools, tertiary institutes and indigenous universities, and through experiences and observations of elders and cultural experts, my leadership journey is grounded in a sense of service, ethics and humility.

My current work allows me to help grow leadership capability across our national health sector, illuminating systemic racism, bias and inequities towards indigenous populations and exploring and making sense of the challenges, barriers and opportunities where everyone can achieve optimal health and wellbeing. My work also allows me to lead strategic initiatives within the transformation and reforms of the New Zealand Health system, as it looks to deconstruct and rebuild a health system that has failed to deliver for indigenous populations over successive generations.

I enjoy time with my family, play musical instruments (but not very well) and keep active through outrigger canoe paddling and swimming.

I look forward to exploring what Leadership and Ethics means for you, the people you serve and those who are important to you.
