UNITEC LEADERSHIP COMPETENCIES

The Unitec Leadership Competencies support our values and are designed to support our people to deliver our kaupapa.

These competencies apply to all staff - recognising that we are all leaders at all levels - at Unitec.

Competencies are the skills, attributes and behaviours that are essential for success - so for Unitec, our leadership competencies are the skills, attributes and behaviours that we want everybody to be demonstrating to help us achieve the aspirations we have as an organisation.

Below are the eight leadership competencies that have been developed for Unitec:
These competencies are applicable to all staff, transferable across all roles and, when developed individually and collectively, will enable us to deliver on our purpose:

"Led by Te Noho Kotahitanga we manaaki the success of our learners and communities"

POHATU'S MAURI MODEL

You will be asked to evaluate yourself against several behavioural statements for each of the competencies using a scale based on Pohatu’s Mauri* Model.

This model focuses on fulfilling one’s potential through journeying to acquire knowledge; where Mauri represents the common centre of an individual from which all energy emanates and from which everything draws. As such Mauri informs how and why activities should be undertaken and monitors how well such activities are progressing towards their intended goals (Pohatu, 2011).

The model, as adapted for self-evaluation, acknowledges four states of being; Mauri Moe (an inactive or latent state), Mauri Oho (a state of beginning potential where one is actively engaged albeit at an emerging level), Mauri Tū (a state of being awake to possibilities and active participation - where one is able to "stand and deliver") and Mauri Ora (a state of being fully transformative).

When completing the assessment use the brief descriptors below to consider your response:

Mauri Moe	Inactive	You have not yet demonstrated these behaviours.
Mauri Oho	Emerging	You have begun to explore opportunities to practice and develop these behaviours but are not yet consistently demonstrating them.
Mauri Tū	Demonstrating	You consistently demonstrate this competency and actively look for opportunities for further growth.
Mauri Ora	Modelling	You are considered a role model for this competency and support others to develop in this area.
