Leaders Are Born; They Cannot Be Made Or Developed
| True leadership is the ability to get people to follow you. The ability to lead is given to us at birth, and cannot be learned or feigned.
Natural leadership can be illustrated on a small scale (micro leadership) by childhood play. If we reflect, we can identify those who led us during childhood or perhaps we realize that during childhood play, we led. On a larger scale (macro leadership) leaders such as Jesus, Hitler, and Gandhi inspired legions to follow them. In both the micro and macro illustrations, leadership is the natural, god-given ability to get people to follow you.
Also in both micro and macro leadership, a vision is stated and the followers perceive they can meet their needs by following. The ability to communicate a vision is essential to leadership.
In deed we would never have known who Jesus or Hitler or Gandhi were had they not been able to communicate their vision. |
