【正文】 rain a leader. Please feel free to enlighten me if I had been blind sighted. “Are Leaders Born? Or Are They Made? Or Both?” K. Kelley wrote: I39。m studying leadership right now for my master39。s thesis as it relates to the MyersBriggs. What is so fascinating is that there are many, many theories on leadership styles and nothing has been quantified. However, our personal styles, such as with the MyersBriggs, have been studied and quantified for many years now. I think that there are so many different forms of leadership. One could take the form of learned behavior, such as with servant leadership, and another could be inherited, as with transactional leadership. There is no denying, however, that an individual cannot possibly be a leader without followers. Perhaps we should seek to quantify leadership rather than qualify. “Are Leaders Born? Or Are They Made? Or Both?” A. Lockhart wrote: I believe that Leaders are born of the situations that they are thrust in. Those that step up and do the things that are necessary to be done because it is the right thing to do. They do this, not because they have to, but because no one else can or will. I am not talking about in an everyday situation, I am talking about when adversity es and people who should be leading you are off hiding some where under a desk. 39。Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.39。 Shakespeare” “Are Leaders Born? Or Are They Made? Or Both?” T. Cunniff wrote: In my experience, the answer is both and more often than should be for anyone39。s good neither. Some leaders in business are more like Chauncey Gardener than Gee Washington. They arrive at their position through corporate happenstance rather than through exceptional merit. Some Chauncey39。s recognize their luck and work hard to fill their gaps with leadership training and surrounding themselves with firstrate talent. The lesser Chauncey39。s risk making themselves (and their employers and investors) miserable. I believe no matter how good a leader you are, you can always bee better. “Are Leaders Born? Or Are They Made? Or Both?” M. Mitra wrote: Twins growing in the same environment among same friends have different personalities. Are Leaders born that way? Well, I believe that there are traits that some people possess, by birth, which may help them bee very good leaders, but their actions and implementation of them ultimately decides if they grow up to bee good leaders. Having leadership trait and being a leader are two different things, I think. “Are Leaders Born? Or Are They Made? Or Both?” A. Bhatnagar wrote: Well, NONE of “Born Vs Made”. It works in binations of following plex stages. 1. Grooming (of Inherited OR Acquired Syndrome) =Produces= Charisma 2. Charisma (applied to identically attributed People) =Produces= Value Creator (Disposable) 3. Value Creator (If brings diversified attributed people TOGETHER) =Produces= A Mass Leader “Are Leaders Born? Or Are They Made? Or Both?” A. Mittal wrote: I would say a men is made of circumstances. It all depends what kind of circumstances a men has lived in his life. I think leadership is a skill and like many other skills in some people it is by birth and they refine it further but some are not born with this skill but they are brought up in such environment where they learn these skills and refine it with the time amp。 practice. Hope it helps. Please let me know. “Are Leaders Born? Or Are They Made? Or Both?” R. Miller wrote: I think in most cases the spark for leadership resides in many of us. In most cases the circumstances do not inspire people to act on it. Under trying circumstances the opportunity arises for people to rise to the challenge. S.

Parsons wrote: While some leaders definitely have a geic advantage on leadership, and may find it easier and more intuitive, I think all of us can learn to improve our leadership and no good leader is strictly intuitive all were mentored by good leaders. I don39。t think it is unlike athleticism. Some people are going to naturally excel at sports, but others might struggle to get to the same point. However, as much of it is about heart and passion as natural talent. The ones who are born with the most natural ability, if not carefully crafted, may fail in the end. While some people may lack enough natural abilities that lend themselves to leadership (and thus can39。t ever hope to learn enough to prevail), I think that group is small. Often, it is our own egos of not wanting to learn (and assuming that we know best) that keeps even naturally gifted leaders from being able to prevail. At the end of the day, I think leadership is not about the leader at all. It is about the team!! “Are Leaders Born? Or Are They Made? Or Both?” R. Bhan wrote: Nice question great answers. Reminds me of something my father wrote to me when I was entering high school. Be Deaf to people who say you can39。t do it. A school teacher scolded a boy for not paying attention to his mathematics and for not being able to solve simple problems. She told him that you would not bee anybody in life. The boy was Albert Einstein Does that answer? “Are Leaders Born? Or Are They Made? Or Both?” F. Hayashi, PMP wrote: Each leader isborn with his own signature but.......
