It has been a long outstanding discussions.  In my view in order to become a leader one should have leadership skills.  As far as my experience is concerned skills can be learned through practice.  To be a leader one should show leadership skiils and qualities such as communication skills, interpersonal skills, organizing and management skills, coordination and collaboration skills and most importantly team building and team work skills.

80% born Leaders

Some times your genetic makes decisions for you, no one in full control.

From my point of view in order to become a successful captain must have leadership skills. Skills that can be learned through practice. Such as communication skills, interpersonal skills, management skills, and the skills of coordination and cooperation and, most importantly, having analytical skills and problem-solving skills, entrepreneurship, innovation, ability to accommodate others,

There are skills and qualities innately born with the person leader

Actually all people in principle are born with the same traits and potentials. at later stage many factors help shape our character like social environment, parents, school, university...in brief any person can become a leader as long as he lives in the right enivornment allowing him to explore his leadership potentials.

Behavioral Theories believe that people can become leaders through the process of teaching, learning and observation. Leadership is a set of skills that can be learned by training, perception, practice and experience over time. Leadership learning is lifetime activity

Thank you for the invitation.

Leadership is innate talent, and can be developed in some people, so leaders are born rather than made.

In some societies for example, leaders did not go to schools but they are leaders by default. The leaders are born with certain personalities and skills and may need to be improved by some practices only. So, I totally agree with Mr. Mohammed Elfeel that 80% born and 20% made.
