The council will obviously want a person whose style <br />is compatible with the council. Depending upon the current situation <br />in the city, a stronger personality can sometimes offer much needed <br />leadership. Under different situations, a "softer hand" may be more <br />appropriate. A city council must also carefully consider how much <br />control it wishes to delegate to the person hired. <br />C.
