On Being a Good Leader
Volumes have been written about leadership and the skills and capabilities of good leaders. No matter who your role models in this area, Washington, Roosevelt (Franklin or Teddy), Jobs, or Lombardi, an effective leader can help an organization achieve higher levels of performance.

As in any community organization, the ideal leader ascribes to the volunteer servant model, giving freely of their time to better their community. Today, over 1 million Americans serve as volunteers board and committee members in their communities.
