for Innovation in the Community College declared: Community colleges, as yet largely untapped resources, are emerging as the nexus for the resolution of both local and national concerns...Serving as a frequent hub for local networks dealing with community problems, they are accustomed to working collaboratively with all types of community groups. (Roueche et al., p. 3) But, who will lead these dynamic colleges, so critical to the future? Will it make a difference who the leaders are? Current literature (Birnbaum, 1992; Fisher & Koch, 1996; Roueche, et al. 1989) indicates it will make a difference who leads these colleges. Successful organizations are led by successful leaders (Roueche et al., 1989, p. 5). Community College Leadership As stated in the forward of A Report of the Conimlssion on Strengthening Presidential Leadership (Kerr, 1984), "One thing is clear: colleges must have presidents and it makes a great difference who they are." In their book. Presidential Leadership: Making a Difference, Fisher and Koch (1996) asked the question, "Do college presidents make a difference in the lives and prospects of their institutions?" and they came up with "a resounding YES!" College presidents are capable of transforming their institutions. The "office, and how it is used by a president, can inspire, motivate, invigorate, and transform the life of even the most stodgy or troubled colleges" (Fisher and Koch, 1996, p. vii).
