Bestselling author of The Dreaming Path (+30 000 copies sold!), Paul Callaghan, shares how the key to mindset, lifelong learning and leadership excellence exist within Indigenous knowledge systems.

In an increasingly complex, interrelated world of business, it’s crucial to find your point of difference. Never before has leadership excellence been so critical to ensuring business sustainability.

This book stemmed from the desire to share new ways of leading based on old ways of thinking to as many people as possible.

From a cultural perspective, First Nations peoples have known for tens of thousands of years that we are born to learn and continue learning until we take our last breath, from everyone and everything around us – from teachers, lecturers, books, courses, Elders, children, babies, strangers, friends, life and nature.

In Leading from the Dreaming, Paul Callaghan draws on his business experience and cultural knowledge to walk you through the 8 Rs of Leadership: responsibility, relationships, respect, recognition, reflection, results, resilience and renewal.

With this adaptable, curious mindset, you will set yourself up for richer opportunities in your personal and professional life.
