STEPPING FORWARD
LEADERS REVIEW IS FILMED AT
STEPPING FORWARD

At its heart, Leaders Review is an ongoing, collective leadership exercise by sponsors and contributors  all prepared to step forward.


Contributing  from their particular industry experience, or just hard working business associations we would like to recognise - they front up, chip in, aren't there to pitch product, and would like to contribute to NZ inc. in this way.

EDITORIAL 'HOUSE RULES'

Generally, the series tries to reflect leaders' particular passion points. By agreement, the producer determines final themes. Participants have the right to withdraw particular comments (rare) but commentary must remain 'above the competitive fray' and non-advertorial in nature as befits the exercise.

WHERE DO WE SIT IN THE ECOSYSTEM?

Ours is not a  daily business news and opinion service. For that may I suggest subscribing to NBR (like I do). Nevil and his team continue to do an amazing job.
 

Nor are we here to supply hours of aspirational material. There are other talented outlets for that too.
 

This project is aimed at the often time-poor, business & leadership community. For those who might appreciate a bit of focus and go-forward, delivered directly and  with little fuss...

This is made for you. On us.

PAST LEADERS REVIEW SERIES

Featured on the site is a considerable library of short-form videos put together by Leaders Review's past participating leaders and  sponsors. Material has purposely been produced with a 'timeless' quality in mind, so do take advantage of the many insight modules produced over the years.

MISSION & GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Originally, in 2010 when the Marine Industry series kicked things off, Leaders Review videos were a 
collective response, to post-GFC thinking; an avenue for down-to-earth, pragmatism that (luckily) a few of the business community thought worthwhile to back and get out there.

​

Guiding all aspects of the returning
project is the mission by all involved to continue to offer a helpful nudge or challenge to as many business owners and leaders as is possible to reach. Focus Points will always remain short, to the point and free to access, netcast or broadcast.

​

On behalf of our sponsors, participating  leaders, and the team

- enjoy our series  from over the years (so far)!
