The LIP’s aspiring leaders were inspired by a master community leader, Eddy De Gabriele on 24th February 2021. Eddy is the Chair of Regional Development Australia (Illawarra) and by the end of his term in 2025 he will have lead the community and served in this capacity for 20 years. And that’s just scratching the surface of Eddy’s leadership journey, which includes outstanding achievements with Edmen, Football South Coast and his current business endeavours.
Eddy shared his passionate thoughts on leadership with the LIP, in an engaging and stimulating presentation. The factors of leadership, behaviours and ingredients for successful leadership were all discussed. He also imparted the key to successful leadership with the cohort, being YOU! A favourite quote from Martin Luther King Jr was “A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.” One of the cohort mentioned afterwards that they were ‘still buzzing’. It’s fair to say that the LIP participants enjoyed the thought-provoking discussion on the differences between a boss and a leader and were thoroughly inspired by Eddy’s leadership journey and plethora of stories.
