Abstract
This paper explains that power brings about social and economic change, leadership needs to be effective to bring about such change and strategy uses the two to implement the changes that are needed. The author points that the relevance of power was recognized by such great community leaders as Dr. Martin Luther King and Saul Alinsky, who would mobilize communities to tackle local issues and problems. The paper stresses that many times people in public and community service are leery of government involvement in their projects or programs; however, such involvement can be extremely beneficial because the government can assist with funds or implementation of programs that may promote community and neighborhood development.
From the Paper

Utilizing existing leadership from local community associations is an efficient and useful method of accomplishing change within the community. Such leaders must be assessed as to their leadership characteristics and strengths within the community.

From the Paper
"Nursing leaders of tomorrow must prepare to help make complex decisions within the community and help meet the goals and objectives of the health care organizations they work with (Campbell, et al. 1998). Common challenges facing tomorrow's nursing leaders include meeting the challenges of "higher level reasoning" associated with a leadership position and acquiring the critical thinking ability necessary to aid in complex decision making functions at the leadership level (Campbell et al. 1998). Nurses also face the challenge of overcoming obstacles including "dwindling and inadequate resources" that may result from changes in health care policy and tighter insurance policies, procedures and programs (Donahue, 482). Still other challenges nursing leaders face include providing multidimensional care to an increasingly diverse population of patients (Marquis & Huston, 2006). Today's patient is multi-faceted; for nursing leaders to provide adequate care they must understand the implications culture, ethnicity and beliefs have on patient care, as well as understand how access to care (influenced by managed care, socio-demographic variables and insurance) may affect an individuals health and patient outcomes (Marquis & Huston, 2006).

His interest in finance was also apparent extremely early in his life when he started playing the stock market with one of his sisters when he was eleven. When he was twelve, he was betting on horses, and by high school he had started a business (pinball machines) with a friend, a business which earned him fifty dollars a week. By graduation, he not only owned his own business, but he also had purchased forty acres of Nebraskan farm land with his profits."

From the Paper
"The strategy that would have been recommended to Sculley in 1983 would have included a policy of maintaining and operating system that was not compatible with the PC-DOS operating system. There was no particular advantage to Apple Computer in embracing compatibility with the IBM PC operating system. A second element of the strategy that would have been recommended to Sculley in 1983, however, would have been a policy that dropped Apple Computer's proprietary stance towards its technology. This change in strategy would have opened the Apple Computer product line to close developers, an action that would have led to more competitive pricing for Apple system computers and to greater software selection. Each of these outcomes would ultimately have proved to be highly beneficial to Apple Computer. While it is true that clone manufacturer's would have made a dent in the hardware market share of Apple Computer, the growth in the overall Apple system share of the market would have strengthened the position of Apple Computer as an operating system developer and marketer and as a technological innovator."

From the Paper
"By the summer of 1862, a distinctly divided America was entering the second year of the fierce and bloody conflict known as the Civil War. The spring of 1862 had taken a heavy toll on the South, marking the loss of most of the Mississippi Valley, almost the entire state of Tennessee, and the large and strategically important city of New Orleans. In addition, Joseph E. Johnston, commander of the Army of North Virginia, had been severely wounded and the Union troops of the North had advanced to within five miles of the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia. Low on both supplies and morale, the condition of the Confederacy in the summer of 1862 has been described as "on the verge of collapse", and many modern historians believe that the Civil War might very well have ended by autumn of that year if not for one defining and catalytic event. This event was the installation of General Robert E. Lee as Johnston's replacement as the Commander of the Army of Northern Virginia. "

Abstract
In a highly competitive world, business strategy is vital to success and, as demonstrated by some individuals, an ordinary business can be converted into a massive chain of outlets on an international scale. An example of this kind of success is Ray Kroc's McDonald's, which developed from a relatively small fast-food company into a fast-food chain with outlets in nearly every corner of the world. The paper discusses the reasons behind this incredible business success story, focusing on the qualities in the man, Ray Kroc, such as vision, authority, and perseverance, which made McDonald's what it is today.
From the Paper
"Two particular accounts that have been remembered about his authoritative attitude include the time that he fired an employee for not wearing properly polished shoes. The second account that is remembered is the time that he nearly fired a manager for not having enough of what he called ?potential? (Kroc & Anderson, 1990). This authoritative attitude is one that can so easily be associated with cruelty and lack of consideration for employees. However, this action demonstrates the standards that Kroc expected to maintain without any exceptions being made."
