How does a company develop leaders?

NO SIR ,, LEADERS ARE BORN THEY CAN,T BE DESIGNED OR MADE,,, WHAT YOU CAN DO IS THAT DEVELOP THEM GRADUALLY TO GREAT EXTENT,,, GIVE THEM BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF COMMUNICATION,,, SOFT CONTRLOING ,,, SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE TO IMPROVE THEIR VISION,,, WISDOM TO ACT WHERE , WHEN , & HOW.........

Through:

1- Firing talent people.

2- Encourage creative thinking

3- Cross-functional training

4- Sharing in decision making

A leader is born a leader. The company can only boost the attribute of LEADERSHIP by trusting them, giving them adequate LEADERSHIP trainings and seminars to boost their capabilities and at the same time a load to prove their worth and a better price to lenghten their stride in their position.

A Company can make good managers but leadership qualities are inherent in persons from birth and such qualities cannot be developed. The Company only identifies and picks up those persons having leadership qualities and assign them leadership roles & responsibilities. 

By providing leadership exposure and by investing time in creating leaders . Leaders , the word may actually sound like someone who is at the top inspiring / managing large number of people .But , a successfull organisation will be the one which grooms leaders at various level. 

Leadership can be developed by providing exposure which can broaden the perspective and also inspire people to be more passionate . 

Leadership is very often confused with management or even administration.  People like the term "leadership"and like to be described as "leaders"even if they are barely good managers in their own disciplines , 

I would say leaders develops a company.
