Abstract

Attending to the life-energy of an organisation is an important, yet often overlooked aspect of management and leadership. Ignoring energy dimensions in an organisation can lead to dispirited, dysfunctional workplaces. In this chapter, we explore how nourishing different life-energies can revitalise relationships within the workplace and with communities to support organisational thriving. A central premise of this theoretical enquiry is that organisations which cultivate healthy, thriving life-energies offer added value for their stakeholders, including employees, customers, social and cultural communities, and the environment. We focus on indigenous Maori conceptualisations of life-energies and offer a series of touchstones, drawn from theory and our management and research experience, to guide sustainable business practice with the kaupapa, intention, of bringing new life and dignity into dispirited modern enterprise.

Nächstes Kapitel Indigenous Spirituality at Work: Australia

There are many iwi (tribes), hapū (subtribes/clans) and whānau (extended families) of Aotearoa New Zealand who comprise the cultural grouping ‘Māori’. They are united as the tangata whenua, the indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand, who have retained strong, thriving and dynamic tribal traditions despite the enormous impacts of colonisation from the 1800s.

Royal (2006) highlights that it remains a point of debate as to whether the Io tradition existed prior to the arrival of Christianity. He points out that debate aside Christianity has influenced the Io tradition in a number of ways. Te Ara, the Encyclopaedia of New Zealand (see http://www.teara.govt.nz/), highlights that in the twentieth century, debates about the Io tradition were accepted as part of the Ngāti Kahungunu and Ngāpuhi tribal traditions. The authors of this chapter belong to Ngāti Kahungunu.

This saying is a wisdom passed to us by our mother and grandmother, Wikitoria Wairakau Puhake Te Taite.
