Camdenton County
Leadership Program

Leadership... "...I do not believe that the fate of any small town will be decided by its location in the state, or its access to water or highways or resources, or other objective characteristics. These factors can help or hurt economic survival. "But the essential ingredient is something human, unpredictable, and immeasurable. It is that elusive thing we call leadership. Leadership is vision--some notion of where the future lies and how to get there. Leadership is guts--the willingness to step up to hard decisions, take risks, step on toes. And energy--the determination to keep going when everyone tells you it is a lost cause. Leadership is looking in the mirror and saying 'It's up to me...' "...You do not have to be elected to be a leader. You just have to care and decide to do something, and to enlist like-minded people in the doing. In my view, that's what small towns need to survive--the spark of leadership by committed local people willing to risk failure to reach for success..." by Jim Gannon Washington Bureau, Detroit News
