(http://www.kotterinternational.com/our-principles/change-leadership) Having these skills takes a lot of time and effort, the term “born a leader” means that the qualities comes from a persons personality, this includes enthusiasm, integrity, toughness, fairness, warmth, humility and confidence. This is so an editor can be demanding to their staff yet with a warmth in their tone and be fair by rewarding any good performances but not having favourites in the company. When controlling a team and evaluating performance, a leader has to ask themselves questions before giving appraisal or taking action: • Has the magazine been a success or a failure? • Can any lessons be learnt from this? • Can action be taken to improve any failures? • What feedback can be given to ensure there is success in the future? ! After planning these questions to be brought up in any up and coming de-briefing sessions, there is also background research that needs to be done to ensure that it comes across to employees in the right way for instance; clear realistic objectives set, shared sense of purposes, an open atmosphere, being able to handle failure and riding out any tough breaks within the company.

Drive is a 2009 non-fiction book by Daniel Pink. Pink, a law student and former speech writer for Vice President Al Gore, explores widely accepted social science research, but he also claims it is widely ignored. Throughout the book, Pink compares the evolution of people’s motivation over time to the evolution of computer operating systems. He asserts that people have progressed from Motivation 2.0 (carrots and sticks) to a new operating system, Motivation 3.0, of whose main elements are autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Pink also explores the dangers not upgrading from Motivation 2.0 as well as some how-to’s on developing, honing, and harnessing Motivation 3.0.

What matters the most is what you do day by day over the long haul, explains the author. If you continually invest in your leadership and let your ‘assets’ compound, the inevitable result is growth overtime. While some are born with greater natural gifts than others, the ability to lead is really a collection of skills, with nearly all of which can be learned and improved. You can be a good leader if you want to, since everyone has the potential to be one, you just have to understand that you can’t accomplish it overnight. Leadership is complicated and has many facets, and it takes a lot of ‘seasoning’ to actually an effective leader. Whether you do or don’t have the natural ability for leadership, the author states that in the development and progress process probably occurred in the following four phases: Phase 1 being ‘I don’t know what I don’t know’ here a person doesn’t realize how valuable leadership is and believes it’s for people up the corporate ladder thus passing up the opportunity to learn how to lead. Phase 2 is ‘I know what I don’t know’ here you begin to realize the importance of learning how to lead and the learning process begins’. Phase 3 is ‘I grow and know and it starts to show’, in this phase you realize you lack skills and begin daily discipline of personal growth in leadership. In phase 4 ‘I simply go because of what I know’ is when you’re knowledgeable and your ability to lead
As a growing debate, the question at hand is whether great leaders are born with specific leadership traits, or if one can be taught certain traits over time. According to (Wikipedia.com) the approach of listing leadership qualities, often termed "trait theory of leadership", assumes certain traits or characteristics will tend to lead to effective leadership. I believe that leadership traits such as honest, competent, initiative, inspiring, hardworking, intelligent, and the ability to lead the masses, are some of the leadership traits one should possess. Within this paper, I will examine the overall concept of leadership traits, while observing the traits that were, or can be associated with successful leaders.
So if a leader needs a combination of characteristics that makes them successful is a leader born or made? The answer is both. Some people already possess the traits that they need to be leaders and are often leaders from an early age. Some people observe and eventually become leaders. Leadership can be taught. Over the years many theories about leadership have been developed. These theories include but are not limited to trait theories, behavioral theories, contingency theories, and functional theories.
Leaders aren 't born; their made. The process of leadership is long, complicated and has made elements.

In modern day business, leadership has become an issue that is given far more attention and investment than ever before. Leadership involves establishing a clear vision, sharing that vision with others so that they will follow willingly, providing the information, knowledge and methods to realise that vision, and coordinating and balancing the conflicting interests of all members and stakeholder. This essay will discuss whether leaders are born not made, with varies of theories being compared and contrasted and the strengths and limitations of leaders itself. Further this essay will analyse the future aspects of theories which would establish whether a leader was born with leadership qualities or made into a successful leader.

They communicate constructively and clearly and in many cases, they become winners because people feel they are for them.

LEADERS ARE BORN NOT MADE There have been an age long debate, and humans since beginning of time, have tried to come up with an answer to this question – Are Leaders born or are they made?. This question has generated an age long debate, which in turn has resulted in various school of thoughts, some believe that leaders are born, while others think otherwise. My contribution to this lifelong debate will serve as a pointer to my position on this issue. I strongly believe that leaders are born and not made. Who is a Leader? - “A leader is a person who guides others toward a common goal, showing the way by example, and creating an environment in which other team members feel actively involved in the entire process. A leader is not the boss of
One must be able to understand the definition of leadership before making the determination is a leader is born or developed. Leadership is defined as “the process of influencing an organized group toward accomplishing its goals” (Bethel University, 2011, p.16). There are myths that tend to stand in the way of people fully understanding leadership development. One would say that good leadership is having common sense, or leaders are born rather than made or developed. Leaders have certain traits that make he or she be a good leader. One may assume that a person is born a leader because of one’s actions or attributes he or she maintains. A person can have traits and behaviors that point in the direction of leadership. However, those traits and behaviors do not necessarily mean that the leader was born that way nor developed that way. Leadership is can be acquired in different ways. The important
