In reply to Michele Martin.

Wayfinding has meaning in indigenous knowledge.

"Wayfinding Leadership: Groundbreaking Wisdom for Developing Leaders" by New Zealanders’ Chellie Spiller, Hoturoa Barclay-Kerr, and John Panoho introduces the concept of wayfinding as a leadership framework. It supports what you say above.

The framework is rooted in the traditional navigation techniques and wisdom of the indigenous Māori and Polynesian peoples.

Whilst I prefer the term “model” over “mindset” - one key idea I like from the book is the description of a "wayfinding mindset," which encourages leaders to draw on their inner resources and ancestral wisdom to navigate through complex and uncertain situations.

This mindset entails being adaptable, resilient, and connected to one's purpose and the environment.

Wayfinding leaders are skilled at reading and interpreting signs in their surroundings, trusting their intuition, and making decisions based on both rational analysis and inner guidance.

The book gives some practical insights about adopting the wayfinding mindset to develop the ability to lead their teams and organizations through uncharted territory and towards a successful future. Chellie’s research needs a wider audience
