The document discusses whether leaders are born or made. Some believe leaders are born with innate qualities for leadership, while others believe leadership can be learned through experience and education. Most argue it is a combination of natural abilities and development. The document provides examples of leaders and their characteristics, such as passion and communication skills. It concludes that while people may be born with equal abilities, leaders are made through choosing to develop leadership skills in response to events or through personality, and that leadership can be acquired like any other skill.

19. “leadership tactics”
The answer if a leader its born or made? Those who believe
that leaders are born, give less attention to leader

They are focused on selecting leaders with the "right stuff"
and expecting that those leaders' natural abilities will mean
success. But nothing could be further from the truth.
Sure, selection is important, but good effort on leadership
development is very important.

26. Conclusion
So are leaders born? or Are they made? or both? We are, for
most part born the same.
We ALL have the same faculties to exploit.
Ten fingers.
Ten toes. So it has to do with environmental factors
that affect the individual.
Leaders are made.
Leaders become leaders in 1 of 3 ways:
1. a crisis or event pushes them into leadership
2. their personality leads them into it
3. they choose to be a leader.
Leadership is a skill and like any other skill can be acquired.
