In this episode of The It's All Possible podcast we hear from Rodney Carter, CEO of Dja Dja Wurrung Group who in 2024 were named the overall Telstra Best Business of the Year and Telstra Indigenous Best Business of the Year. My interview with Rodney on the purpose, vision and values that have led to the oustanding growth and scale of Dja Dja Wurrung Group is a master class in leadership when you hear how Rodney has led his the organisation. Those of you who know me, know of my passion for  leadership, accountability and discipline to ensure change initivatives are successful and sustainable. Rodney and his team are living examples of this approach operating across government and private enterprise all while running an organisation that is owned by multiple families. 

Under Rodney's leadership Dja Dja Wurrung has achieved sustainable development and effective management of their cultural heritage. His role encompasses harnessing skills in negotiation and team leadership to foster economic growth and social advancement for the Dja Dja Wurrung peoples which is based in Bendigo and covers Central Victoria.

Dja Dja Wurrung's efforts, under Rodney's guidance, have centred on environmental stewardship, government liaisons, and biodiversity conservation, ensuring that the cultural and historical significance of our lands is preserved and respected. With a focus on conflict resolution, we prioritize community welfare and progressive social services that resonate with their mission and values.
