Te Manu Arataki Leadership project, led by Ringa Hora, is supported by Ohu Ahumahi Workforce Development Councils. “Te Manu Arataki i te kāhui” is a Māori metaphor that acknowledges one’s leadership qualities and compares them to a bird leading a flock, often seen when birds fly in a ‘Skein’ or ‘V’ formation.
Improving leadership capability provides an opportunity to drive further growth in New Zealand’s productivity, and to positively impact businesses and the economy.
Industry professionals and education providers have responded in style to the challenge to find ways to improve leadership in Aotearoa.
As part of the second stage of our Te Manu Arataki Leadership Project, Ringa Hora held 10 webinars and an in-person hui for rangatahi. The feedback has been tremendous, and we have learned a great deal about leadership needs.
This feedback came after Ringa Hora’s research team carried out an extensive environmental scan of New Zealand leadership, which helped inform discussions at the webinars.
Our focus as a workforce development council is now to review existing leadership credentials across the vocational education sector, develop new products where appropriate, and facilitate career pathways into leadership.
We have set up working groups and consultation groups to develop any future leadership products. Membership of the working groups has been set, but we will continue to add people who are interested to the consultation groups. If you are interested, please email [email protected].
The project is being carried out in four stages:
Thanks very much to everyone who attended our leadership webinars and hui. We appreciate everyone’s input very much.

Working Groups have been set up to work on the generic offering of products on the New Zealand Qualifications and Credentials Framework.
Monthly updates of progress in the development process will be issued.
For more information, please see Guidelines for Te Manu Arataki Working Groups. This information and guidelines sheet has been distributed to working group members.
Together, we can make a difference and lead our businesses and the New Zealand economy towards a brighter future. Sign up to be involved and stay informed about the project.
