Leading From The Dreaming

Leading From The Dreaming by Paul Callaghan invites you into a thoughtful leadership book that draws strength from Indigenous knowledge systems and lived business experience. Grounded in First Nations ways of learning, it offers a practical, deeply human approach to mindset and leadership excellence—one that values curiosity, connection and continual growth.

Callaghan explores the idea that learning is lifelong and relational: we’re shaped by Elders and teachers, certainly, but also by children, strangers, Country and everyday experience. From there, he guides readers through the 8 Rs of Leadership—responsibility, relationships, respect, recognition, reflection, results, resilience and renewal—showing how these principles can be applied with integrity in real workplaces and communities.

This is a rewarding read for managers, emerging leaders, coaches and anyone interested in personal development, organisational culture and Australian Indigenous perspectives.
