The Role of Community Leadership

Abstract

Modern societies depend on their governments to act in a manner that is in their best interest and thus promote the wellbeing of their citizens. The local sphere of government is, in this regard, of particular significance as it is at community level that governments can directly affect the daily lives of people. However, constant changes in the environment, combined with an ever-increasing demand for goods and services by the public, mean that governing is far more complicated than sometimes assumed.
