Twice a year, we put everything else aside and bring our leaders together for a full working day. We run a Leaders Day in both Auckland and Invercargill, so the same conversation happens in both places.

Leaders Days aren’t conferences with slides and lanyards. They’re a chance for our leaders to take stock of what’s ahead, test their thinking with each other, and come away better equipped for the team they lead.

A typical day covers what’s on our teams’ minds, what’s coming up for the business, and what our leaders need to do differently to lead well. That might mean working through recent team feedback and agreeing what to do about it, or figuring out how to bring our purpose and values to life with their teams. It’s also a chance for our leaders to focus on themselves – what they need from us, what’s working, and where to double down. There’s always an external focus too – thinking about what’s happening in the world and what it means for our customers, our team, and the way we work.

“Things feel busier and less predictable than they did a couple of years ago. That’s just the world we’re in. What we can control is how we lead through it – staying steady for our team, being clear about what matters, and keeping the focus on the people who rely on us. Days like these are how we make sure our leaders are set up to do that.”
