I'm dealing with a Maori business at the moment and really wanted to be able to communicate with the people I'm dealing with in a culturally respectful way. This book has helped me do that! It provides practical insights into Maori culture, easy-to-understand explanations for Maori words, and is a quick and easy read. It now lives on my office desk so I can dip into it anytime I need to check something.
Loved everything about this book. Super clear and well written.
I'm an immigrant to NZ – everything Maori is new for me. Reading this book took one sitting – that was easy. Shelley explains carefully what you need to understand and also the implications of what it means for your behaviours. This makes the learning instantly applicable to practice. But most importantly, this is a book you will want to revise and go back and re-read over and over again. Dip into the chapter which suits your need now.
Engaging with Maori for Success in Business
This handbook promises to raise your awareness of things Māori, providing you with a broad range of insights at a basic level. It’s not iwi-specific or comprehensive, but it is a good foundation, easy to understand, and immediately applicable. It’s shaped around the various contexts in which you might interact with Māori.
Take the time to read the whole handbook when you can, but in the meantime, flick to the appropriate section when you need to, and get on with business feeling confident and culturally safe.
