Leaders, They are self made. No one is born with some special qualities but these qualities evolve with time and experiences. There is a leader in each one of us. But some of the ppl who evolve as leaders practice leadership the most. It does not matter whether we are having equal oppurtinities are not. Some prefer going through pain and some love comfort too much. It does not matter what kind of environment we are exposed to. Business schools provide the requisite platform for showcasing the leadership qualities.

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.

Hello everybody, I'm Barsha Guha, an engineering student from India.

I believe that leadership is an inborn quality. However, it must be nurtured through various stages in life.

Leadership is the ability to influence a group of people to achieve a common goal. A leader must have wisdom, values and good decision making ability which can only be gained through the experience one gains in various stages of life.

B-school education can nurture the leadership skills but cannot simply thrust the powers of leadership into someone who is not born with it. For example, not every B-school graduate is a great leader.

Again, there are people like Bill Gates. He was a school dropout. But he became one of the greatest leaders.

Hence, I conclude that leadership is an inborn skill, but, it must be polished through exposure for a leader to truly shine.

In my view no one is born with any quality, every one is like a raw mud and the porter gives the shape and make it a pot. As the same the environment like our education, friends group, family, culture and many more life experiences make the person a leader. So I support as the leader is not inborn but made by the different factors.

According to my view, leaders are born. We all have leadership qualities but only a few people come to know that they have leadership qualities and by polishing their leadership qualities they become a great leader.

Hi, everyone, I am vaishali.

In my opinion, leaders are not born they made in business schools. The thinking that makes anyone leader is not inherited from your mother or father that is developed in the person by giving that mentality of thinking. The main qualities of leaders are who can support their employees, not getting annoyed easily, listen everyone's thinking, motivate their employees to do more better. All this quality is developed in the person by changing their thinking and made them think like that and high level of study made anyone a good leaders. So business schools provide that environment to the students to develop this type of quality in this way leaders are made.

Thank you all.

Probably I think that leaders are made Not born. The reason behind this is simple that when a child is born then just by seeing him we cannot judge that he will become a good leader or not. One have to show hi leadership skills which are injected in him through one tool-EDUCATION. This plays a most crucial role in polishing one's talent.

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.

In my opinion I would like to say that, Leadership quality cannot be decided at the time of birth but the work he does, how he utilizes the opportunity and works for the benefit for the others. Leader is not the one who gives the command or order but he takes everyone opinion and decides which is best.

Some will say that leaders are born but they don't know that their work and achievements are seen only when the time goes on. Each an every person are the leaders of their own life. Leaders must have the quality of communication skills, and others like mental ability and physical ability and education, straight forwardness etc.

Thank you.

Leaders are neither made in Business school nor born, Business school teaches us to become the leader and one has to practice leadership qualities to be successful, the first and foremost quality of a leader is to listen, the next comes convincing people. Staying updated on current outside world is what leader should possess and to achieve all these one has to be experienced.
