leadership
 is a combination of both inborn virtues and persistence training. Arguably, people do not enter the world with equal abilities, with equal talents.

First
, extroversion is consistently associated with obtaining
leadership
 positions and leader effectiveness. Remarkable leaders usually share common characteristics
such
 as being bold, assertive and risk-taking. Leaders
also
 need to be smart to analyze situations and figure out courses of actions.
Therefore
, intelligence is another significant factor
that is
 inextricably linked to
leadership
 capabilities. There is some ‘raw material’, some inborn qualities that predispose people to become a leader from the onset of their journey. That being said, introverts and persons of average intelligence without extraordinary endowment can make good leaders if they aspire to become one. The job of leading an organization, a military unit or a nation is fantastically complex and diverse.
Thus
, many companies embrace
this
 doctrine which is evident through
leadership
 training programmes. Constant training and practice would equip participants with the skill sets necessary for high ranking positions. More importantly,
leadership
 is often a choice. If the fear of leading overrides the willingness to come forward to take the challenge
then
 one is a follower.
In other words
, when one is inclined to be hidden in the crowd, they are more likely to produce mediocre results regardless of receiving adequate formal training. The bottom line is that
leadership
 requires a set of innate traits, refined and perfected over time with education, training and experience. Ordinary people without natural
leadership
 skills can become great leaders through the process of learning and observation.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
