Le Tautua
Developing the capacity of Pacific leadership in management
Le Tautua, literally meaning "the service", derives from a Samoan proverb: "O le ala i le pule, le tautua" or "The pathway to authority is through service".
The concept of tautua includes the notion that where in order to lead, one must also serve. This is characteristic of not just Samoan but many Pacific leadership styles, where leadership is not necessarily about leading from the front but about the paradox of status through service.
Le Va is implementing two initiatives under this project.
- Emerging leaders programme - focusing on developing capacity in management.
- Evolving leaders alumni - ongoing support and development for previous programme participants.
