Great Australian Leaders - Interviews

This monthly segment,  Our Community Leaders - Great Australian Leaders in Focus is part of a wider project we are doing with the Federal Department of Family and Community Services to increase the level of awareness of community leadership as well as the opportunities available. We thank FACS for their great support.

The interviews appear each month in Our Community Matters, the free monthly newsletter containing the news and views of the community sector that is distributed to thousands of community organisations across Australia.

Each month's interview is designed to excite and stimulate discussion on the important elements of leadership as well as providing some personal insights that can serve as lessons or guides for other younger and emerging leaders.

Leadership - like any other skill for a community leader - is about constant improvement and a constant search for new and better ways to be able to guide your community organisation or to be able to get a message across to a wider audience.

We are very grateful for the many Australian community leaders who have agreed to take part in this series and we hope it enlivens discussion, debate and directions on what is the true meaning of community leadership.
