Skill set called leadership
People are born to become leaders; I think Nelson Mandela was born to be a natural leader. There are very few people in the world who could have done what he did. I mean 27 years in prison, and coming out and repairing a troubled nation and forgiving his enemies. He's off the charts when it comes to leadership. I think you probably have to be born Mandela. On the other hand, I think all of us can find our inner Mandela. That is reach more deeply into ourselves to pull out the best parts of ourselves that help us lead. And whether we're encouraged to do that or not has a great deal to do with the culture that surrounds us and the support we get from our colleagues. So yes. With encouragement, a positive culture, and support from colleagues, more people can become leaders.
You should know one thing that you can teach someone leadership skills but you can’t someone to become a leader. Leaders are not necessary educated people, they are people born with a skill to change others to think the way they think. I think some people who are extraordinary are born leaders and they probably showed it from an early age at one end of the continuum. On the other hand, there may be people who could never be a leader no matter what they did. But I think everybody has in them the potential to lead.
Leaders are not just emotionally powerful just because people want to follow them. They're also often intellectually powerful. That is, they have an important idea that thinks beyond the current situation.
