The one thing that an organization needs is a good leader. I'm usually not afraid to take over the ranks of a group. When I was first introduced to my group, I established who was in charge within the first meeting. During this phase, I had to establish levels of respect such that everyone would acknowledge my authority. Of course, I didn't do this with force I had to earn their respect by showing them that I had to capacity to lead them, motivate them, and give them hope for the future. Since then our working relationship has run very smoothly and without serious issues.
