A born leader


Are leaders born or can leadership be taught?  We’ve all heard the  saying “He/she is a born leader.” Can parents really sense that their sweet toddler is a leader?  What traits do these parents see in their toddler?  Toddler Timmy has all the toddlers in his playgroup following him around.  Toddler Timmy has all of the toddlers building him a block castle.  It’s silly right? 

I believe leaders are made. They grow into their position of power and authority based on circumstances preparation and training.  Leaders can be an unassuming individual in your group.  It’s the person in the room that’s willing to accept responsibility. It’s the person who listens to everyone and makes a decision based on the facts.  The leader in the room is well read on issues and can help make strategic decisions based on the future direction of the marketplace.  

What would your coworkers say about you?  Are you a born leader or a well read leader?
