Our knowledge used to bring up children is a powerful process that creates sacred and visionary leaders that enable culturally led leadership that heals, enables recovery from generational trauma, mental, social and emotional ill health and promotes wellbeing through education and learning. My research and lived experience of leadership in politics, community engagement and consultation, education and research for the past 50 years has shown me how powerful our way of leadership – Eldership is. It is emotionally intelligent based on thousands of years of understanding educational and emotional developmental psychology utilising spirituality and cultural engagement to grow people with higher levels of consciousness. Our leaders are humble, create harmony, understand how integrated systems work and how the smallest part of an ecosystem impacts everything else in that system. Dr Robert Kegan at Harvard discovered that business leaders who develop these traits create a way of being in all activities that impacts the planet and its environment and people in healthy ways of being. Think the Dalai lama, Nelson Mandela, Charlie Perkins, Lois O’Donogue, Eddie Mabo. Leaders who are ordinary people who do extraordinary things. In health and wellbeing, we have yet to engage this knowledge in policy and program development where we recognise the self-determination and power of such leadership in these systems. If we were to engage leaders who have these levels of consciousness in the business of transformative health and wellbeing, our healing systems would look very different. What are these traits and how do they transform, systems, peoples, environments and ways of working.? These are topics explored in this presentation. A powerful case for embracing sacred leadership based on our knowledge to transform our health systems.
