leadership demands a broad array of skills. Successful leaders need a deep understanding

the capacity to operate creatively, and the ability to bring together diverse groups in order to
transform communities. They must be prepared to shape a compelling vision for change,
to advocate persuasively, to plan strategically, and to demonstrate results.
