An address by Jeffrey Lucy AM, ASIC Chairman, at The West Australian Events Program: Leadership Matters, 5 April 2006, Perth.
Good Morning. I would like to thank The West Australian for both hosting these important events that simulate and drive leadership and also, for giving me the opportunity to address you in this forum.
This morning, I would like to discuss the theory of leadership in the regulator's context. Specifically, I want to address three questions:
- what are ASIC's priorities – what do we do and where do we fit in the Australian financial markets?;
- how do we cope with the environmental context in which we regulate?; and
- how do we drive change and bring strategic vision to those we regulate?
