Regenerative leadership – a new approach to governance

Overview

Regenerative leadership is all about leaving our environment and our people better than we found them. It is acting on ancient wisdom, spiritual and quantum world awareness, sustainability and organisational culture. This new approach values life so that communities flourish, ecosystems thrive and people feel alive.

This shift in approach sees the planet earth and all of life on it as a set of interconnected, interdependent, self-organising living systems that flourish and generate abundance by ensuring each other thrives.

At this event the 2020 Bay of Plenty Emerging Director Award recipient will be announced. Sponsored by Stellar Library.
