First Nations people of all continents have been refining leadership for millennia. They've had from the dawn of human history to figure out what works and what doesn't. By comparison, the discipline of workplace leadership emerged only about 100 years ago - just a few generations back. The leadership principles of First Nation societies have profound yet practical implications for workplace leaders.

Inspired by conversations with several Maasai elders, Andrew O'Keeffe travelled the globe investigating the leadership knowledge of First Nation societies. His search took him to the central desert of Australia to meet Arrernte and Pintupi, through Africa to meet with Kalahari Bushmen, Himba, Maasai and Samburu, to the Amazon to meet Waorani and Kichwa, to New Zealand to meet M?ori and North America to meet with Haida and Mohawk. The people the author met, attracted to the idea that workplace leaders might learn from their people's wisdom, welcomed the opportunity to share their knowledge.

First Leaders is the first book devoted to how the wisdom of First Nations leadership can benefit modern leaders. With his focus on practical application of the wisdom shared with him, Andrew O'Keeffe has identified 11 Principles of First Leadership. The principles provide concrete actions to help both individual leaders and organisations solve their major leadership challenges.
