Leadership: According to Peter Williams

Peter Williams is recognized as one of Australia's leading thinkers in the area of innovation, technology commercialization and all things online.

Last night I heard him speaking at the RMIT Prize Giving Ceremony here in Melbourne.  He talked about leadership and according to Peter these are his three points when looking at a leader:

She/He will  -

   1.    Give you something to believe in

   2.    Be someone to believe in

   3.    Be someone who believes in you

He then went on to tell the graduates that they need to be keen to keep giving back to their profession and stated boldly to:-

 "Keep Putting In and Giving Back and you will have a good life.

I do like this man's definition of leadership. I'll gladly use it with my MBA students and with management/leadership skill workshops, with acknowledgement of course.
Could you let me have any links to him please - there are so many of that name in a google search
