ABSTRACT
Some community members must become at least amateur experts and specialists in their fields. In some communities good leadership in the family and good community leadership have made such an impression that the work of the community gets done with very little evidence of personal dominance. In various special fields individuals may become specialists, experts, and qualified leaders. Joseph K. Hart, in his Community Organization, wrote, every human being needs some real experience of leadership. The democratically-minded leader in the community will find that he cannot always wait for results until he has educated his people in the spirit of democratic responsibility. Men who are competent in their own fields see the fundamental social economy of giving a leader full authority in a field where he is competent. Sometimes a program of necessary work may be delayed or killed by waiting too long on democratic participation.
