The Leadership Kete has activities and curated resources available to support our leaders in strengthening team connection and kotahitanga (interconnectedness).
These activities are useful when reconnecting at the start of a semester, or when bringing a team together to set or re-establish focus and direction. The activities and resources are designed to create an inclusive culture and move us forward in line with our values.
With a range of activities to choose from, our leaders can connect with their teams in a way that works best for them. The content and activities can also be modified depending on the team’s requirements and focus.
Please also find below the Change Kete, with a range of resources and tips to navigate and support your team, while also looking after yourself through periods of change and uncertainty.
