| Not everyone can become leaders. Good leadership beholds in the way he/she takes the group. It must come out naturally and teaching leadership qualities does not work out, but can be moulded. Not all the students in the b-school becomes good leaders. But there are people who have become great leaders, who are not the products of any b-school. |

| Leaders are born. The individuals have the gene in them but it cannot being seen (genotype). Because if a person is not born with that skill how will you make them to improve on their leadership ability. Some special talent must be seen in someone before you conclude about that person, is the same with leadership ability. |

| Developing some clarity about the "born-or-made?" debate is essential to a discussion of leadership training. The current consensus is that it is both. In a majority of cases, genetics and early family experiences play the significant role in developing the personality and character needs that motivate the individual to lead. They also contribute to the development of the intellectual and interpersonal skills necessary to lead. |

| Hi friends I am Irfan khan from Kashmir. Regarding this topic I feel that to become a good engineer one has to go through the engineering study or training and in order to become a good doctor, a person has to grind through MBBS course and then undergo internship, similarly, in order to become a good manager, an individual has to undergo management training programmes. Or else a technician can also become an engineer, a good compounder can also become a doctor. If we look at public sector, virtually everywhere the government is conducting management programmes for its employees. What is the need? All of them are qualified bankers or railway employees and definitely they have qualified the exam, but as the situation demands now, people have started a professional approach towards their job, which was earlier absent and hence the need for trained managers, So that they prove productive towards their organisation. Management is doing a work in much refined way within limited time period, so I think we do need to train managers. Thank you. |

| In my point of view,leaders are born cannot be made, its impossible to impart leadership skills to someone,the situation and the environment may help to develop leadership skill.Leadership qualities depends on how an individual see things. |

In my opinion leadership is an inborn ability. Leader evolve their ability by their surroundings, situations, parents, friends, society. It depends how they tackle with situations and how much effective they are. Business schools definately help a leader to polish his abilities.
To become a great Leader in present world one should have inborn ability as well as professional knowledge. |

| Leadership is about setting a new direction for a group; management is about directing and controlling according to established principles. However, someone can be a symbolic leader if they emerge as the spearhead of a direction the group sets for itself. |

Hi friends,
As per my knowledge leaders are not made or born. Because every person born on same qualities. And business schools are help to increase our inner qualities. They don't make the leaders. Who confidently handle the all situation in every moment they will be a leader.
Who see the possibility to every problem they will be a leader.
Thank you. |

Friend all have good point, My Point of view everyone on born has the same qualities and it depends on the environment and situation by one passing life and gained the quality to lead the people. Leader also have ideal and learn from their experience but difference is that they get click by the right thought and right time.
He brought up such environment to seek the possibility to all and give his better in the betterment of society. |

Every one in this world has an inherent quality of leadership.. but this can only be identified by interacting with society which includes our family, friends, etc.. and hence by identifying it someone opt for b-school's to upgrade this leadership quality.
also the leaders have some vision in mind with the cherry on the cake i.e. followers to lead and hence that leader would use its influential skills to convince its people to become follower.
also the leaders like civil activist Anna Hazare which is not a B-school pass out but than too he leaded a big number of people..
also adding to same point the worlds biggest innovator Late Mr. Steve Jobs, dropped out of college.... so he did not got to any B-school.... but than too proved to be one of the biggest leader in the world..
hence my stand would be that leaders are even born but are also made at B-school hence it is a biased stand from my side |

| I acknowledge the facts leaders are born. Leadership is an inborn quality and parents, society, culture as well as education helps to polish their skills. There are many persons who are born with leadership qualities to some extent but leadership skills needs to be polished and nurtured in order to bring leadership skills to a reasonable level of competency. Leaders are not made in management institution, indeed these institutes helps us to polish our skills and develope instincts to lead the people. |

| Leaders are born, but they need to be made aware of their leadership quality. Exposure, which is quite in a business school, brings them out of their cocoon thereby giving the world a worthy leader. A well educated natural leader is always much better, preferred and respected than an uneducated leader. |

Leadership is a quality which is naturally present and to some extent gets inculcated in a person from the surroundings and the environment in which he or she lives. This is a qualitative aspect which can only be improved(not wholly inculcated) by studying in the B-schools. The eminent personalities like J.R.D Tata, Dhirubhai Ambani etc were great leaders as they had in-born talent to lead others.
Leaders are born not made.

leaders are only as good as the situations they face, so these business schools create these simulated situation for the budding leaders which is good.
some are saying people like Dhirubhai Ambani never went for formal training but one should consider that both his sons went to top management schools in the world to become successful leaders. |

People take birth with different interest and attitudes. It is fortunate for the people who take birth with leadership qualities but it is not necessary that they would perform well as it is all about courage, confidence, motivating skills and circumstances which an individual faces through his/her life. It is also a real fact that each man possess same things difference is just in way of thinking and interest. No doubt business schools try to emerge leadership qualities in a man to its best.
But it is all about the theoretical knowledge and some amount of practical experience which are imparted by the business schools. The real field is something different. A true leader is on who is dynamic, confident, positive and who doesn't moves back in any kind of situation. Being confident may be inborn but tackling the situation is to be learnt from the circumstances. Surely business schools produce big leaders but the basic nature of man never changes. |

| Through B-schools one can only improvise his knowledge and leadership qualities to deal with problems. It is not that a perfect leader is made by the B-schools. Leadership quality in a person is developed by his own experience in the society and his nature to deal with the things. |

| The way I see it is the leaders are born, its only that his qualities are hidden. Whatever these b schools does are mere refining their qualities. You cannot change a person who has never took an initiative in life. A leader always does that. Talking of b schools they already take the persons who have certain leadership qualities which they find through no. Of test and GDs they conduct. No school or b school can change a person into leader unless the person is born with it. |

So only all companies who were recruiting peoples doesn't directly appointing them as a leader, they check whether they are suited for that task whether he can able to manage the situation and so....... |

I feel that in this current scenario, Leader can be developed by allowing him/her to experience and take decisions. Apart from TATA, Birla and Ambani there are lot of companies that are being directed well by leaders. And those leaders are not born. There are thousands of companies that performed very well even in recession.
In my opinion, in current scenario, a leader is a person who give direction to all resources in a company in order to keep that company sustainable and to grow more and more.
So, Chanda kochhar from ICICI, Indira Nooi etc etc all are good professionals and leaders of today's business scenario.
If we talk in context of current global world then Leasers can be created and managers can be guided!! |

From present scenario we can say leaders are made by the situations. It depend upon the place (enviornment) where they born.
In business schools we are getting opputunity to enhance our leadership qualities by creating hypothetical situations. |

Leadership quality is not inborn but is adapted by the individual as per the environment. It is due to the fact that which type of surrounding we have and which type of people we are interacting.. Leadership quality is enhanced due to the type of circumstances we have faced and its actually the criteria depends on how much we are able to handle the pressure.
So definitely all this should be learned by the situations in life not before life.. |

I agree that the leader we had in the past or present are not from any business schools but we must understand that the leadership quality they are having is the result of the situtation or circumstances faced by them. And the same thing is done by the business schools, they are giving the their students virtual situations to act so that the Leadership qulitiy or power a student (or anyone) is already having which is hidden inside can come out.
Everyone can't be a leader because everyone is not facing the same situations. The circumstances of everyone is different. For example carbon is same but from the same carbon we have two allortopes diamond and grahite. As diamond get strong pressure and heat it is diamond and if graphite also suffered that heat and pressure it could also be diamond.
A person come with all the positives and negatives with him, it is the circumstances which make the persons mind to respond. If he responded positively he can be diamond and if negativly a graphite.
A ONE MUST UNDERSTAND THAT GRAPHITE IS ALSO A USEFUL PRODUCT.
There must be followers else who will value leaders.
Leaders are leaders because there are followers, if all will be leaders then we can't get the conclusion. |

I do accept that leader are born,leader are the one who can win heart of human through doing social services or developing nation with their innovative thought,and their passion to do thing for benefit of all and not as an individual.
Example : Nelson mandela, Dirubhai Ambhani and Ghandhiji..
Business school are meant to gain knowledge,sharpen their skill to execute, youngster who are not exposed to practical scenario.
A person without passion to do is similar to dead body for business school. |

| In my point of view leader is nothing but he has to manage all those things what ever he want do that should be taken by him a challenge. He should talk loudly, innocently about the situation occur at any point of time. The leader has to think in a positive manner. Almost all this type of persons would came from childhood because they don't care any one. Some peoples only came from business schools from childhood they behave like leader at any point of time and they learnt so many things also by absorbing past and present situations in the country. |
