In this episode Steven talks with Maxine Graham who is a director at Pūmau Limited, board member of Te Arataura (Waikato Tainui Tribal Executive) and has spent much of her career on the advancement of Māori in education, workforce and business initiatives.  The discussion centered on "reindigenising" governance practices and how this will shape organisations in Aotearoa and across the world as the movement gathers pace. “I stand here not as myself, I stand here in the footsteps of my tūpuna to make decisions for my mokopuna to come,” says Maxine about her role in governance.  A big part of how that is framed is in ‘connections’ and the relationship between people, the community and environment. We need to remember who we are serving and to acknowledge we represent those who have come before us and those who will come after.    Maxine Graham is a Member of the Institute of Directors.  Connect with Maxine:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxine-graham-0b033a61  Find out more about the Advanced Directors Course:  https://www.iod.org.nz/governance-courses/advanced-directors-course-2/  Find out more about the Institute of Directors: https://www.iod.org.nz/
