    Lisa Rogers | Developing leaders in the food and fibre sector

    In this episode, Lisa Rogers, Rural Leaders CEO, talks to host Bryan Gibson, Farmers Weekly managing editor, about the recently released report ‘A Path to Realising Leadership Potential in Aotearoa NZ’s Food and Fibre Sector’, along with its leadership development framework, and the leadership programmes serving as key tools for building more and ever greater leaders. Rogers says while Rural Leaders is traditionally and at its core about leadership, it's also increasingly moving into the capability space now and the journey to leadership –  from first steps on their leadership development right through operations teams and into that strategic level of leadership as well. If we believe the Food and Fibre sector has a Leadership challenge versus a Productivity challenge, then developing our sector’s leadership capability needs to be a priority.
