Are Leaders Born or Made?
There is a quote from warren Bennis says leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality and
some said leaders is dealer of hopes. In the 19th century, this notion was named the ‘great man’ theory by
historian Thomas Carlyle, who argued that people do not enter the world with equal abilities and talents. I
would actually like to make an attempt at putting this useless debate to bed once and for all. So, what’s
the answer? Both – some people are born with essential qualities that prepare them to being leaders, and
other people, while not naturally gifted with leadership ability can acquire it. As legendary American
football coach Vince Lombardi once said: “Leaders aren’t born, they are made. And they are made just
like anything else, through hard work.” Moreover, all leaders, born or made, can improve their ability
with desire, experience and effort. As Richard Branson has proved it that he born with disability and now
he is a leader and has many followers and motivates people. Behavioral theories believe that people can
become leaders through the process of teaching, learning and observation. Leadership is a set of skills that
can be learned by training, perception, practice and experience over time. Leadership and learning are
indispensable to each other. “John F kennedy”.
Leadership acumen can most certainly be taught, and it can also be ingrained in those willing to put forth
the effort to learn so we found that everything can be developed. Adair and lewis: Great leaders never
stop learning, whether through day-to-day challenges, their personal relationships or the people they work
alongside. Management can come with time and practice. We can say, one-third born and two-thirds
made. The ability to effectively lead, motivate and direct a group of people – whether it is in business,
sport or politics - requires a very complex set of skills, mostly acquired through experiences, self-
development as well as access to subsequent training.
