Local leaders and teachers make a difference in the communities they serve because they set the tone for the school year. This can be seen in the movie Heart of Stone when Mr. Stone commanded the respect and academic progress of the students in his school.

Teachers are expected to command the classroom but do not desire or make respect from the students. Goals and progress can only be made when students understand how the local teacher’s perspective is.

Community Leadership Leadership is often misconceived: the word evokes imagery of one person standing alone above the rest. To lead is not to control or command, but to provide direct or indirect guidance, focus, and support to others. This could be demonstrated in many forms: being an advocate, a visionary, a pacesetter. Very few people wake up one morning and decide to be a leader, myself included: my journey began with the decision to get involved.
