Leaders Born or Made?


When a person is born, I believe that he or she is born with a “blank slate”, and that their experiences throughout their lives are what shape them. As it pertains to leadership, I believe that it is a trait that is learnable, like being an apprentice to an experienced businessman. One must learn their leadership by observing, and having a desire to lead. Individuals must be willing to sacrifice the effort needed to become a successful leader, but also must be willing to observe those that are already leaders, in order to gain helpful tips. Leadership is not something that comes easy. To attain it, it requires persistence, personal growth, and responsibility. Persistence is learned through failure. Leadership is all about making a difference. It is not only charisma, but also practices, and values that can be learned.
