There are some incredible insights and some wonderful ancient wisdoms that we have stopped listening to and Owen’s mission is to re-introduce people to those ideas.

The importance of whakapapa and a team's "Us" Story, and the main goal of a team being leaving the org better than they left it is so important, and the idea of this all stemming from our ancestors is intriguing. With the work I do now, I try and give people a sense of belonging when they're part of something special. And so a lot of my work is not just preparing people to be successful, it’s also helping them overcome the pain and suffering of not achieving their dreams and being disappointed. Aspects of Owen's unique approach finding your identity story; defining a shared purpose; visioning future success; sharing ownership with others; understanding the 'silent dance' that plays out in groups; setting the conditions to unleash talent; and converting our diversity into a competitive advantage.

There are plenty of other leadership tips in this book that are of importance to groups, movements and organisations. It's been a humbling experience and a privilege to read Belonging, and I can only hope that the lessons shared in this book are applied widely across society, because they could help us overcome many of the pressing challenges we currently face. This excellent book reflects on Owen Eastwood’s Maori /English Heritage to learn more about his ancestors and the culture principle of whakapapa - that people are connected not only to the past but also to the future.In some ways, Eastwood, who has also worked with the British Olympic Association, the Royal Ballet School and the command group of Nato is the secret weapon. I felt like some of the kupu Māori used were interpreted on a very surface level basis, that was reflected in the analysis, and in places made me feel uncomfortable with the way the word was used.
