A community often employs an economic developer because it is seeking
leadership for stimulating or directing economic growth and development.

In this case, the economic developer has authority as a positional leader,
although many of the responsibilities of the professional are task-oriented

development organization is going through significant change, effective
management to direct and control the response to this change is
particularly critical.
