  • The cultivated self is a leader’s greatest tool

What is Pacific leadership ?

  • Leadership is a love of culture & family networks
  • Leadership is enhancing our world view
  • Leadership is about developing self to serve the people
  • Leadership is neither a position nor a title.
  • Leadership is an interactive process in which leaders and

followers engage in mutual interaction in a complex environment to achieve mutual goals.

  • The appropriate approach to leadership must

acknowledge all elements of the process, not just the actions of the leader themselves
