Are Great Leaders Born or Made? Who Cares?
b'
I frequently get asked if great leaders are born or made.
\\nStudies seem to indicate about a third are born with favorable characteristics, and two-thirds are forged by life experiences.
\\nIf you\\u2019re told you were a born leader, you\\u2019ll probably act like one. There\\u2019s also a strong likelihood you\\u2019ll fall into certain traps of entitlement and privilege, which can blind you.
\\nIf nature and circumstance cause you to act like a leader because no one else has stepped up, or you\\u2019re deeply committed and focused on a vision for a better future, would you be successful if you didn\\u2019t have the latent capabilities?
\\nI don\\u2019t particularly care, and to me, it doesn\\u2019t matter.
\\nBorn, raised, forged, or accidental, great leaders who do not deliberately practice and further their development will ultimately decay, and then lousy leaders win.
\\nThat is unacceptable.
