Is Leaders Born or are they made in Business Schools?

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.

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.

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.

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 who are having a high determination which influences the people to follow him. Leadership skills does not come by birth. It is a quality being acquired by various moments and inspired to be a leader. Person who has a tremendous self confidence and actions inspired by the other people called Leader.

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.

HI Freinds,

My name is shahidhaman. I am from kavali. The topic is leaders are born are made?

In my opinion leader is not born, they made because every person should will born with same qualities. But few are became leaders because of some environment condition are surrounding atmosphere.

I say one example our national father also one of the greatest leader. He not born with any leadership qualities. The situations and condition are made him to change leader.

So in my opinion leaders are not born they made. Thank you.

Leadership is very important thing to every person. Leadership is mainly depends upon to maintain the situation. And business schools are helping to shine the qualities which are involve in the person. And every person want to leader with a good and necessary qualities. But it is very complicated to do 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.

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.
