Abstract

The South Pacific islands face a myriad of challenges caused by the ongoing effects of colonization, historical conflict, and geographic isolation. Leadership capacity within the region requires continued development in order to facilitate indigenous solutions to the challenges facing the region. The transformational leadership model has been successfully applied cross-culturally, and this article proposes a values-based approach to facilitate the indigenous application of the concept. In light of recent studies supporting a values-based approach, the paper describes challenges and limitations of current models, and extrapolates the relevancy of applying values in leadership development. A foundational understanding of common South Pacific values is then presented as the starting point for facilitating a values-based application of transformational leadership, with characteristics of transformational leadership introduced as factors to support pre-existing indigenous values.
