The Inbetween Leader

From Indigenous leader and former justice minister of Canada Jody Wilson-Raybould-and educator and lawyer Roshan Danesh-comes a how-to guide for a new type of leadership.

We live in a time of paradox. At once, it feels like we are pulling together and pulling apart.

In this era of extreme polarization, traditional leadership models rooted in competition and hierarchy are failing to bridge the gap. In The Inbetween Leader, Wilson-Raybould and Danesh offer an alternative-one that fosters interconnectedness, empowers diverse teams, and maintains unity without erasing difference.

Drawing on Indigenous governance traditions and integrative worldviews, and building on discussions in the national bestsellers True Reconciliation and Reconciling History, Wilson-Raybould and Danesh show how leaders in workplaces, communities, and families can create environments where everyone feels valued and engaged. Featuring personal experiences, expert advice, and actionable strategies-and informed by Indigenous wisdom and frontline experience in government and peacebuilding-this is crucial reading for a new generation of leaders.
