The ability to learn and adapt is paramount to effective leadership and the only part that nature plays in this is to give the individual the capacity to learn. Even the desire to better ones self is probably learnt through life. I think that as

After spending 11 years in the Navy, I have seen many good and many bad leaders. I, myself never thought I could be a leader early in my career until I was “thrown” into a leadership

25、role. Looking back on it, I feel that I always had those qualities in me, but never knew they were there until I had no choice but to either lead or give up. Now, I can also say that I have seen other individuals faced with the same challenge fail. I, for one, do believe that there are leaders and t

This case has been made in many ways, including various research over the years. This has been addressed by people who have answered you

31、r question in one of the three postings. I also absolutely believe that some people are born leaders. My father, a career military man, used to say this: If you think theres no such thing as a born leader, leave a group of kids on a playground and come back in 20 minutes. Without fail, when you come

32、 back, there will be one kid leading that group. In many cases, it wont be the most popular kid and it often wont be the kid you expected. Furthermore, it frequently isnt the kid that wanted to lead the group. It will be the kid that has that something that enables him/her to say, lets do (whatever)

33、 and the others will follow. Interestingly, that same kid will quite likely become a leader throughout his/her life. I am certain that some people, particularly those who cite traditional research will disagree with this scenario. The most likely argument is that leading kids on a playground is not

34、really leadership. I submit that one key aspect of leadership is evoking in others the desire to follow. After all, without followers, leaders are just people out for a walk. I believe one reason that many people argue against born leaders is that it would seem to doom others to being permanent foll

35、owers. Many people insist that it must be one or the other, born leaders vs. developed leaders, and since there are clearly many developed leaders, then there can be no such thing as born leaders. In my opinion, accepting both pathways to leadership is more logical, and less narrow minded. It is als

But there are leaders - very successful leaders - who derive much of their leadership success from charisma alone. I believe the most dynamic and effect

This also means that there is no way to develop leaders fast, which is why HR people prefer to recruit experienced leaders rather than train their own. In essence the leadership debate is a spin off from

55、the nature vs. nurture debate. As far as i can see, to train leaders effectively, you have to put them in real leadership situations for your organisations, let them get on with it while watching them like a hawk and making sure that they are pointing in the right direction.
