Wisdom of Ancient Modern Knowledge

"He who is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will reward them for what they have done." Proverbs 19:17

Indigenous cultures across the globe have long practiced servant leadership through communal values, reciprocity, and collective care. Pacific Island concepts like Tautua (service) and Māori principles of Manaakitanga (hospitality and care) highlight that leadership is not about personal gain but serving the well-being of the community.

Indigenous servant leadership teaches us that leaders are caretakers of people and resources. Their role is to serve the present generation while safeguarding the future. By learning from these traditions, modern leaders can integrate wisdom that prioritises sustainability, equity, and collective success.
