Rosalie Nelson is the CEO of the Edmund Hillary Fellowship, whose mission is to "incubate solutions to global problems from Aotearoa New Zealand, and make a lasting positive impact on the world". (Full disclosure: I am an EHF Fellow.)
Like Matthew in episode 13, Rosalie starts with her Pepeha, "a way of introducing yourself in Māori. It tells people who you are by sharing your connections with the people and places that are important to you."
At the core of our conversation is being of service to Aotearoa New Zealand, and getting beyond hierarchical hero leadership model of leadership and innovation. Instead, really being able to let go and think about what is our collective? How do we unlock the collective capability? And with as much diversity of thinking as possible.
We spoke on 11 July 2022.
