The 2010 and 2011 earthquakes of Canterbury have had a serious and ongoing effect on Maori in the city (Lambert, Mark-Shadbolt, Ataria, & Black, 2012). Many people had to rely on themselves, their neighbours and their whanau for an extended period in 2011, and some are still required to organise and coordinate various activities such as schooling, health care, work and community activities such as church, sports and recreation in a city beset by ongoing disruption and distress. Throughout the phases of response and recovery, issues of leadership have been implicitly and explicitly woven through both formal and informal investigations and debates. This paper presents the results of a small sample of initial interviews of Maori undertaken in the response and early recovery period of the disaster and discusses some of the implications for Maori urban communities.

A video of the first part of an address by Joseph Thomas, CEO of NZIM Southern, at the 2012 Seismics and the City forum. The talk explores how post-quake Christchurch has become a laboratory for new ways of working and accelerated change, and how it is important for organisations to identify and develop the cadre of new leaders who came to the forefront during and after the February quake.
