Leadership vital to success of city, state
Last month, the United Way announced the establishment of the Financial Stability Council to resolve problems confronting many Utahns. Through the leadership of Zions Bank President/CEO Scott Anderson, a group of dignitaries across the community spectrum was chosen and the resulting momentum is astounding. Existing initiatives in state government, especially healthcare, now reside with the Council. As happened in trans-
portation funding for Salt Lake County, a nongovernmental entity is providing direction for the state.
The absolute indication of leadership is persuading a constituency (legislators, colleagues, the public) to support a difficult project while incurring personal risk and sacrifice. Meaningful executive and/or legislative decisions create winners and losers. A solid compromise indicates parties who surrender something of value. Important projects and legislation are created by leaders who compel and convince followers, results rarely achieved by a committee.
