"Leadership is much different. Leaders build on the status quo, to be sure, but go well beyond it.  As Foster stated, 'Leaders always have one face turned toward change' (1984).  There is a constant reexamination of current conditions and a formulation of new possibilities. Leadership is a problem-finding as well as a problem-solving approach.  It is a dynamic process that challenges the organization to higher levels of consciousness and growth" (p. 89).
