With Māori language week coming mid September, Steven Moe sat down with Ngahihi o te ra Bidois t talk about Māori perspectives at the board table and embedding te reo and tikanga Māori in the boardroom.
Among his governance roles, Bidois is the chair of the Eastern Region Fish and Game Council and the Tauhara North No. 2 Trust. He is an internationally recognised inspirational speaker.
Te reo Māori is an official language of New Zealand and should be heard in our boardrooms, says Ngahihi.
He says Māori would be more likely to join the governance community, and enhance its diversity, if they saw it was welcoming of Māori perspectives.
Ngahihi o te ra Bidois is a Member of the Institute of Directors.
