Honestly I doubt a "community manager" really would help here, also the 
word "leadership" kind of scares me, at least if its "set up" ;-)

I often heard people asking for a community manager if well known 
problems exist but nobody is solving them. I think we're in a state 
where we have quite a core community with very active and smart people. 
We can solve the problems we see, so my feeling often is that we have a 
lack of entitlement for people to touch things. Aren't we often too much 
waiting for Frank to take decisions?

My proposal would be to, instead of installing a community manager, we 
should encourage all the core people to be more like Frank and push 
decisions and do stuff and, important, communicate it.

Klaas
