No! i do not agree by this statement because Leaders become leaders based on their hard work, expertise and their innumerable efforts and the ability to take the setbacks in a positive way, whenever they are encountered.

 

LEADERS like Thomas Alva Edison, Bill Gates, Abraham lincoln are all men with high moral character, not much educated but they were positive throughout their failures, and after all they weren't greatly born but became great just because of their own persistence and perseverence.

I do agree with the statement "leaders are born not made".  The leader carries the  inheritance of the leadership quality. However, such qualities should be properly nurtured with ones hardwork, efforts, dedication and determination.

Nature VS nurture

Which come first hen or egg?

this is old fashion debate, there are some inborn traits which can be polished and if not polished then that person remains an ordinary person. So it can be acquired and learned based on the built-in trait.

Every born human beoing is unique expression of Creativity.Those who are discovered and their fire is  harnessed correctly become leader in their respective fields and those who do not get this opportunity they don't .

Not true!

We call the newborns "Babies", not leaders :)

That was a joke!

Seriously, leadership is a skill and any skill can be obtained though training, interaction and experience.

hi Lana

i think it's a part of personality (as you said born) but it can be made by experiences & training 

thanks

Unfortunately not ....... leaders are never born, they are created.

There are many inferences that leaders are made and they are backed up by the fact that the environment in which one is brought up, family, social, belief systems, whatever it may be; those aspects and many more are directly accountable for ones journey and successes in life. Children are taught to be honest, credible, and as they grow they align themselves to those before them. 

There is a sying that says ...'show me who you associate with, and I will show you your future'

I resonate with that

yes, im tottaly agree with this statement.

it is because if we see in our surrounding not every one has the this ability. oinly few of us has this ability.

our national heroes. compaany heroes. the personalities who are succesful. they all have some abilities of thniking and doing something great. not everyone cant do this or even cant this about this.

it takes a power to urge to do things what he wants. so, i will say that leaders are born not made.

It is partially true since some characteristic of leaders such as braveness, decision making and others are built in, in the other hand without the right skills which is learned and acquired there will be no leaders so.i think it is mix of both
