Overview

Leadership for the future demands models of collaboration, flexibility and cross sector co-design to enable long term, deep and sustainable solutions. This is about energising people. 

But what happens when systems appear to be more important than people. Leading out of adversity is not a pleasant passage. 

Experienced director and business woman, Mavis Mullins joins us to share her journey with the Taratahi Agricultural Training Centre and provides a critical insight from a director’s viewpoint into some of the issues encountered, in a sector facing challenges. 

Seen through the lens of the skills based tertiary training sector, the pressures are indicative of what many sectors may face as life in a COVID-19 world becomes more apparent.
