Are Leaders
Born?
Or
Are They
Made?

3.  Some individuals are born with
leadership qualities
 some learn to become great
leaders.
 Most of the successful leaders
develop and enhance their skills
in their life.
It means even a person with
leadership qualities need to refine their skills before
reaching their full potential.

Born great has two possible meanings:
 either being born to a great position, such as that
of a hereditary monarch,
or
 possessing natural talents and/or virtues of an
exceptional kind.
Clearly, not everyone born to a great position is
worthy of it, and relatively few having the qualities
of a great leader.

Alexander the Great was born to kingship and
inherited a strong army. With Aristotle as his tutor,
he was perhaps the most privileged person –
educationally – that there has ever been.
Nevertheless, what he achieved in his short life
was beyond anything that could remotely have
been expected of him.

6. Achieve Greatness

Some achieve greatness denotes, above all,
those whose greatness is self-made. But all of the
really great leaders must be regarded as
achievers, whatever their advantages of birth and
training.

Researchers concluded that the answer is “yes”-
leaders are both born and made. Leaders are
likely to possess a common gene and have
similar brain wave patterns. However, what nearly
all leaders have in common is that the will have
improved their skills over an extended period of
time.

10. Leaders are Made
No one is born a leader. you may start with a gift for
leadership, but you have to work hard to develop it
fully.

Leaders become leaders in 3 ways:
1. A crisis or event pushes them into leadership
2. Their personality leads them into it
3. They choose to be a leader.
If they choose to become a leader, they also
choose the depth of their training (some deep,
some shallow).

13. Conclusion
Without initiative,
Leaders are simply workers
in leadership positions.
