Inspiring leadership within
New Zealand schools

Helping you prepare for the future.

Welcome to Leadership InnovationNZ

All countries and educational systems need to transform! Leadership Innovation NZ provides personal growth and learning opportunities for school leaders at all levels. The professional learning series adopts a group approach to professional learning for leaders. Individualised programmes create opportunities for leaders to explore the personal understandings and contexts. In doing so they explore aspects of relevant literature, emerging or fully fledged understanding of leadership, how these might interact and how they create the potential for growing leaders in their organisation and developing transformative approaches.

The processes are challenging, rigourous, rewarding and personally satisfying for all participants.

Leadership Innovation NZ is internationally connected. This high level of connectedness creates opportunities for New Zealand and other leaders to engage with their counterparts in many other countries. This form of international networking is essential in a connected global community as it offers opportunities for the exchange of ideas, successful strategies and protocols.

We assist leaders to:

  • Link leadership theory and a personal professional practice
  • Lead the way in transforming their schools and the learning of each and every student
  • Develop leadership capacity throughout the school in order to maximise staff capacity and build future leaders
  • Focus on leading learning and learners into the future
  • Socially just approaches to leadership and school community development
  • Build learning communities within and between schools.
