#5 Great Leaders are not born, they are made

Let’s assume leadership means having an ability and desire to inspire and influence others. Based on that definition, I can certainly see the argument that leaders are born with leading qualities when I see my brother using her inherent ability to influence her little sister to do the things he wants them to do. 

The point I’m making though is that frankly, not everyone has the talent to be a leader. No amount of theory, training or practice will give you the character, vision or presence to be a great leader. What often happens to those that try to become leaders without the talent to do so is that at best they become good managers, and at worst, they find themselves overwhelmed and failing dramatically, with no clear understanding of why. Failed leaders are the single biggest problem facing any organization, and they exist everywhere.

Most great leader are not made but they are born with the talent to be a great leader. Some example  that have a great talent to be a leader are Adolf Hitler, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, Mohandas Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr. and the greatest leader in the whole world is Nabi Muhammad SAW.


For the conclusion, great leaders are born, they are not made. Everyone can be a leader but yet not a great leader. One's with the gifted talent, that's the one who will be the great leader... chaiyok2!!
