Are Leaders Born or Made

Leaders are made not born. When a new born baby step into the world his mind is totally blank. When he see the things around, he start interect with it . New born or a small plant are same the more u feed the more they grow . So, tomorrow's leader is today's baby. Depends on us how to mould and give a good shape that decide the leadership of the baby.

ANY ONE WILL BE THE LEADER ONLY THROUGH HARD WORK 

Leaders are to come from people, not from their parents. nobody is born miracle persons only in some exceptional cases . leaders should born not from parents, from people, it would be possible only if/she creates awareness in any field through creativity or any leader ship qualities BY MAKING HIS/HER STEP AS FRONT STONE.  so always leaders are made by the people around them, by seeing their leadership qulities.

Leaders are made, a person who learn through his experience, & consider the collection of mistakes as experience  - the ladder to success

No matter there are cases are Dhirubhai Ambani who was born leader but that doesn't mean every one can't be like him,proper training and mental strength is only thing required or else MBA colleges would not have been there. Even a man like Ambani failed so many times in his early days.He learned from his mistakes.Thats called "EXPERIENCE" which is necessary in every field.In the same way, a fresh MBA graduate takes training under professionals, gains experience and slowly becomes successful in his life.

Leaders are of course born

Leadership can be situational and based on circumstances.  Every leader cannot be born, most of them are made.

I believe that people who comes under influence of leaders, becomes leaders!
All are born, but few are made.. and that few are those who came under the exposure of such activites. It happens by choice..

For others, they are Born leaders..! somewhat like Grapes are sour!

very much hard fact - leaders are made. leadership is just nothing but the person who can sell him/herself well is a good leader.

as everyone in this world is a sales person but the skills and training are the only things which can make him/her as leader.

If we read history, we will find only one quality for a leader---

Decide to be One - A person decides to be a LEADER

And rest all is crap

Circumstances make a minnow in to a leader we have Mahatma as example , also Winston Churchill.

Difficult and challenging times bring best of us as we have no alternate except to face and find solutions.

HAHAHA very big joke.  Gone are those days leaders were born.  Now-a-days leaders are made by the rowdies & corruptions, for the rowdies and corruptions and finally of the rowdies and corruption (simple definition of democracy).  If one has become a leader in this country, he must have two or more wives, must be involved in rape cases, murders, hooliganism, mask thief, etc.etc.,  This is the shortcut for becoming a leader.  Hope you can now understand leaders of the present day are only made not born.

the leaders who born in the yester years had gone.

Has every one forgotten the word DETERMINATION.

Leders are the one who achieve their goals what may come..

So no ones a born leader.

Leaders are borned, but most of the leaders have come up by hard & smart work. Mister Gandhi was not a leader, by profession he was lawyer. But he turned to a successful leader bcz of his dedication & hard work. He has never given a long speech to get attrection of croud, he just do what was in favour of public and he become father of nation. And there are many more. 

And there are many more,

“Leaders aren't born, they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal.”

leadership is something which everyone can learn.for example people born in families of leaders learn a great deal of leadership qualities without much efforts because they see it everyday and for them it is possible.

those who are not born in families of leaders have to learn it hard way.

leadership is socialising,leadership is to be there with people when they need you.leadership is being in a position to spent your time for others.leadership is so much about giving then taking.so you shoul dbe in a position to give.

leadership is there in all aspects of our lives..so everyone is a leader in there own way may be just a bit but everyone has those qualities,few are polished leaders..others are to be leaders or do not exert there leadership qualities.if you are leading a family you are a leader in some way.if you are leading a team you are a leader in some way.there is this qualities within us we need to be aware of it.

Though a very few people have a inbuilt qualities of leader by birth, I sitll believe the consequences in the life makes a person more and more stronger towards the leadership qualities.

when a child is conceived in the womb of the mother those 9 months , i am repeating these 9 months matter a lot.

the birth of a leader is planned well before conception , he is eventually trained in the womb and later on during the formative years.

thereafter its brains software is tested in the market, and some survive and become great leaders and some just crash during the test run.

Most leaders come to the fore due to a situation or a critical problem affecting a large mass.  Gandhi would never have been a Mahatma + Gandhi had he not been thrown out the train in South Africa.  What IF Christ decided to double cross the CROSS ? What if the saint never saw the old people, the funeral. What if US did not slavery around the mid 1800s ? - Lincoln would have still been a would have been President fighting for a Fifth term.  In India, Jaiprakash Narayan became acknowedged a leader only after he cross 80, and that too due to the Emergency !  Datta Samant was a Doctor.

Nehru did just what Shah Rukh did. Stuck on to Gandhi and the Congress - like sticking onto the Chopras and a particular imagery about his persona. The classes he already had in the INC, the masses he got by hanging around Gandhi. The luck factor where all the Freedom   fighters died by 1950 helped.

So those out there, Name any leader - I am the eternal IconoClast :-))). It is just a matter of scratching history a little deeper than what you are told or presented in your classroom ...

After all, there is an Opposition leader as well ...

The society he lives in makes him. The time circumstances maketh a man. you see any entrepreneur he is bitten by some or other problem to reach to the top. He doesnt say i was motivated since childhood. He may be intelligent since childhood.

How can leaders be born, leaders are made, even if they are born from a family of past leaders, untill and unless he is pushed to take up that, so leaders are made in due course of time or some situations lead to take leadership during some point of time in his or her life, so according to me leaders are made and not born...

Leaders are made and the defining qualities in aleader are

1. Having a clear vision and mission of the Aim objective and goal

2. Being passionate about it

3. Ability to convey the Aim Objective Goal down the line

4. Be enthusiatic and also act as a source of motivation by leading from the front

5. Be ethical, transparent and balanced in his approach to decision making

One can be born with a silver spoon but that does not act as guarantee of being a strong successful leader inspite of being in an advantageous position, but by possessing such qualities one can make a mark for oneself and surely become a leader on his/her own right.

Examples of great leaders

Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, Margaret Thatcher, Lala bahadur Shastri, Biju Patnaik, Narayanmurthy, Sunil Mittal, L N Mittal etc....

Well my guess about the genes of these people is as good as yours that is they have etched out a path for themselves as great leaders.

I have always believed that leaders emerge given a situation. There is some thing deep within them that compels them to take charge and act. They have a deep self belief and a commitment to the cause they espouse. They are willing to gamble their very existence for their beliefs. They are great motivators and are capable if inspiring the masses to their cause. 

Can a person who has inherited "leadership" display the same traits? I think not.
