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..

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Well, according to me, leaders are made by their self-confidence. Everyone possess the leadership quality in them but the differ made how they uses their leadership quality. As there are well known leaders like Mr Modi, Baba saheb Ambedkar, etc they never went to any business school though they have that leadership charm in them. So according to one's life's experiences are enough to make a person good leader.

Hi To all, In this forum my opinion is Leaders are not born in nature, they are made by society, when you handle different and difficult situation, you will be able to lead a team. But how much pain you have taken to solve those problems ?If you face more problems and how fast you solve this or you have a clear plan. Then Soon you will become a leader. So my views in this forum. Leaders are not born in nature.

According to me, leadership is the quality which is developed by our surrounding. I don't think that leadership is inborn quality. Every leader should have a wisdom and goal. This quality is gradually developed from our birth to death. If you spent your time with leaders then one day you will become a leader. Business school can give you an opportunity to improve your leadership quality.
