Failure of a group can happen suddenly or slowly overtime, but many times failure can be avoided if the right people are being assigned tasks that suit their personalities and skills.
Group leadership is a fundamental component to any well-organized council.
The tough part is figuring out what type of leadership works best for your group. While no one likes a Napoleon dictator to rule over them, it is a critical mistake to think that no leadership structure will result in group unity and accomplishment. Groups of people need guidance and leadership. Members need someone to look to for administration tasks and for effectiveness in making the hard calls on decisions. Your group has many options of leadership to choose from.
