Leadership–The key to successful organizations
A leader is a person who directs or serves as the guiding head of an organization. Leadership, then, is defined as the ability to lead. While every organization needs strong leaders and managers who work well together, pure leadership is distinguished from actual management.
The leader innovates while the manager administers. The leader develops as the manager maintains. A leader focuses his or her attention on people, long-range results, and challenges anyone who dares to suggest that something is impossible. The hope of a leader inspires trust, and most important, gets results. As you will soon see, Archie Biggs, Jr. and Jack Waller, as leaders of the NASC, embody this philosophy perfectly.
