A great leader is made not born in the sense that good management depends on methods not personal qualities.

"Are leaders born or made" this question likes as "which came first chicken or egg" I believe every one born [including leaders also] but leaders are made with their skills, practice, experience, perception, personality, training, mentoring.

The leadership quality also start with any incident happening in their life that is the turning point to become a leader for example: Babasaheb Ambedkar is untouchable person in his childhood that time society to see in this manner but "HE TOUGHING NO. OF HEARTS IN ENTIRE INDIA"and become a great leader, succeeded to produce constitutional India.

I has mentioned here "leaders should not wait for opportunity and always choose for create an opportunity".

Those people are treat everyone with "equality without partiality".

Thank you.

Leaders are not born but made because no one is born with all the leadership skills and knowledge of knowing everything but only through experience and learning from one another and be able to accept all the defeats as experience is the best teacher.

In my point of view leader is in born, because it depend upon our attitude, leadership quality etc. Leadership is the quality to influence a group towards the achievement of goals. Traits theory states that a leader possess a set of qualities or attributes that differentiate him from leader to non-leader. That's means a specific behavior is the parameter by which a leader is differentiated from non- leader. I support that leader are born and not made.

In my point of view, our attitude decide our leadership quality, so it is born naturally, Because everybody having the ability, but who one have the guts, that person only do the work, He/she motivate together to achieve the goal by His/her previous experience like their surroundings help to lead.

So after considering everyone's point of view we came to a conclusion that leaders are born with certain traits and qualities but these qualities must be polished and enhanced over the period of time. If you leave your qualities unnoticed then you will definitely loose out on them.

We have all the examples who after hard work made themselves aware of the their traits on time and rocked the world by becoming greatest leaders.

Hi I'm Atem Valery. For me I do believe that leaders are born and not made because we have people like Fotso Victor who was a school drop out but today he is one of the greatest business leader.

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.

Hello friends, My name is Ranjan Raj and I am from IFEEL.

According to my thought leadership is an inborn quality. Everyone is born with this quality, but it depends on you when you realise this quality and when you show it. It can start with an incident or situation. I would like to give an example of a great leader and freedom fighter Mahatma Gandhi who is also known as the father of our nation. He realised this quality after an incident happened during a train journey where he was thrown out of the train and he was told that "You are a black person and you could not travel in first class". He saw a vision of independent India. He took initiatives, and came in the battleground of freedom.

Again, I would like to express my thought with the example of sword. A sword without its sharpness is not useful in battle it becomes an effective tools after going under process of sharpening, and it pays deep contribution in the victory. In the same way without sharpening this quality it is worthless, it can be sharpen by society, family, friends etc. And the education. B-schools only does a role of sharpening process.

Leadership is a rare quality which includes confidence in your actions as well as the knack for initiating any idea or a venture in this case. Leadership can be developed over a period of time even outside a business school.

Every situation has its own perspective. No business school can teach you how to tackle panicky situations. It is your own ability and instinct which makes you a good leader. You may be a born leader only if you have nurtured that quality in time.
