We Need to Talk about Norman
We Need to Talk about Norman: New Zealand's Lost Leader | Denis Welch
1 post | 1 read
"Norman Kirk was Prime Minister for only 90 weeks but in the early 1970s he inspired us by leading a visionary government with a clear moral purpose. When he died, we lost the man and many believe we lost our way. This book examines the promise of Kirk's leadership and the social contract that is central to a liberal democratic society."--

The title of this book is right, we really do need to talk about Norman. An excellent, brief biography of New Zealand‘s forgotten Prime Minister Norman Kirk. Not a perfect leader but one of few who truly led for the people, and at the core of his purpose the betterment of the lives of people around him. Visionary in his goals for the country and understanding of our place in a changing world. I am ushering in a new deep-dive obsession.
