Leadership in action: Augustine shares insights from pioneering career

Norman Augustine

Great leaders help create other great leaders, Norman Augustine '57 *59 told a Princeton audience Oct. 19 as he did just that, sharing his insights on leadership to inaugurate the engineering school's "Leadership in a Technological World" lecture series.

Augustine, the former chairman and chief executive officer of Lockheed Martin Corp. with leadership experience in industry, academia, government and the non-profit world, earned his bachelors and masters degrees in aeronautical engineering from Princeton. Calling him a leader who embodies Princeton's informal motto, "in the nation's service and the service of all nations," Dean of Engineering H. Vincent Poor said Augustine was the perfect choice to kick-off the new series, which is sponsored by the Center for Innovation in Engineering Education.

"The main goal of the center is to educate leaders, both engineers and non-engineers, who can lead what is becoming increasingly a technological world," Poor said.
