    Sir Mark Solomon: Peacemakers and Stormtroopers

    The first episode in this mini-series features Tā Mark Solomon reflecting on his extensive leadership journey as former chairman of Ngāi Tahu. He shares powerful insights into Māori leadership, grounded in values of service, integrity, and connection. Tā Mark speaks to the essence of servant leadership — that rangatira serve their people, rather than rule over them — highlighting the importance of respect, honesty, and clear, humble communication. Through real examples he demonstrates how prioritising iwi relationships over profit leads to enduring outcomes. This episode also explores the realities of leadership, including the constant demands of a 24/7 role over 22 years, and the strength of Māori cultural practices in business and global engagement.   From the growth of Ngāi Tahu’s registered members to the revival of hapū and the influential role of kuia and wāhine in leadership, this kōrero captures a powerful legacy of transformation, vision, and service.
