Le Tautua Pasifika leadership programme
O le ala i le pule, o le tautua – The pathway to leadership is through service
Le Va’s Le Tautua leadership programme is designed to support Pasifika health leaders to cultivate their unique leadership perspectives and enhance their leadership and management skills.
A wealth of experience
Le Tautua has been running since 2008, with more than 100 Pasifika health and disability workers successfully completing the programme. Over this time, we have had the opportunity to analyse, research, refresh, scrutinise, evolve and draw upon world leading theory and methods in leadership development.
Contemporary leadership with Pasifika cultural reference points is not a tidy toolkit or theory – Le Tautua reflects how leading in this complex area requires practical application of real-world experience. Past participants are our testimony:
“A mind-blowing experience. I felt like I crawled in a little cat, and I’m going to walk out like a lion. In my organisation, I follow. I’m going to be more courageous now.”
“What was very good was the space to discuss and drive towards integration of Pasifika concepts into our leadership, with the freedom to explore meanings in the group setting – words and actions are powerful.”
“The connection to land and place, flexibility over timeframes. It’s fun, informative and passionate.”
“The safety of the programme stood out. That is, being able to express myself freely without any judgement or criticism. Also, being away from the distractions of work and taking time out to reflect.”
