Purpose defines the unique gifts people bring to leadership challenges, through which they can align others with their purposes in order to create positive impact. This is far more important than focusing entirely on achieving success in metrics like money, fame and power, yet ultimately produces sustained success in those metrics as well. Authenticity is what defines Peter Scott and is why he is always in demand in leading many of the best companies in Australia. Most people define authentic leadership from the outside in, but Peter has lived it from the inside. Here is a bit of his journey in his own words.

“You really come to work, to do the best you possibly can. A person I once worked with said, ‘some people work for the creation of wealth and believe that they will get looked after in the distribution of wealth, as opposed to some people who are always worried about how the wealth is distributed, not really about the creation. So, I’m passionate, I like to see success, I like to win. And, as I said, come to work to do the best you can.”
