Is Leaders Born or are they made in Business Schools?

Dear All,

Leaders are NOT born. They are NOT made in Business schools.

LEADERS ARE MADE BY THEMSELVES.

The various challenges they face from various elements will leads to a person to take initiation to give a solution for the challenges. The initiator will be the LEADER.

To become a good Leader:

1. The individual should have strong desire to become a leader.

2. They should have mental ability and Physical capability to take right decisions at right time and to implement them accordingly.

3. The Leader should be aware about the past, should know about present and should be able to predict the future.

4. They should treat everyone equally without partiality.

5. Leaders should not wait for an opportunity, they should create an opportunity.

A true leader is one among ordinary people.

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 born in my view. If you see the children playing there will be only one child take initiative and leader of that gang. From that it is clearly visible the person have leadership quality inborn. In our country most of the political leaders are good example for this. They people not even completed their schooling and college but they are very good in their field and lead the people. Most of this quality got by experience. Through B-school they people get training but it will never match with the real experiences.

To became a leader one has to either learn from life or from others leaders experience or else you can learn this from a good business school. However its not the trainer who will make you leader. You will became a good leader only if practice things you learn from B school.

Human being is the one of the greatest creation of GOD. A child born with qualities or a child born without qualities can not be identified by looking his face. That is all how he bringing up in family. The way of doing work, the opportunity to take self decision. The initiative taken by individual. The foresight view of things. These all qualities comes up when society and surrounding occurs situation before an individual. An example of diamond given by my friend is best suits on this. Because primarily a diamond is also a carbon but it is polished under process and become the diamond.

I think no person is born with any inborn qualities like leadership. Rather they earn such qualities during their course of life. They learn leadership qualities from their families, their school etc. For e.g If a person is given right to take small decisions as a child itself, then he'll gain self confidence which is very important for leadership. In the school as well, if a child is a class monitor, then he starts acting like a leader. Actually, business schools can never make the leaders because a person's qualities are actually decided in his childhood itself.

Hi freinds,

Leader require some skills like decision making power, can influence other people, creativity dedication etc. This all skills not comes by taking degree this is inherent. For example when diamond is in mine it is fully black no one take away its property of shining but require some effort then only it shine. Similarly in college this leadership skills were sharpen for this we require sincere efforts and hard work.

There is no question that some people come into the world endowed with self-confidence and a keen intellect. That is clearly an advantage. But of the group, only a small number move on to remarkable achievements as leaders. The difference appears to be hard work, thoughtful and tenacious effort, zeal for learning, and willingness to extend beyond ones normal comfort zone. Some people start with clear advantages, but nearly all people are made better leaders from specific developmental activities.

I think in my opinion leadership quality is an inborn quality, It cannot be created by b-school but they can only polish it and further give a shape for their qualities. B-school can provide practical knowledge in order to develop their skills, technique & knowledge so that they can be a good leaders.

So I would like to conclude by saying that leadership is an inborn quality & B-school only provide platform in order to expand their knowledge and skills so that they became a good leader in future.

Hello everyone. My view over the this topic is leaders are both born and are created. I would like to give you an example of born leader, Dhirubhai Ambani. He was not a B school graduate but still he was a successful leader.

Leaders are created by society and the success and failures in one's life make him think differently which helps him to shape his leadership skills making him successful. Example to this is Warren Buffett.

I would to conclude by saying that, if you want to walk fast you walk alone but, if you want to walk far you walk in a team. This defines leadership.
