Some are of the opinion that people are naturally born as good leaders while others feel that leadership skills can be learned. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Leadership is believed to be innate and only
people
who are endowed with this
aptitude can become good leaders. However
, some people
claim that “practice makes perfect” and this
is also
true for leadership. From my perspective, I support the latter viewpoint since perseverance and practice can totally compensate for talents.
To begin
with, it is undeniable that there are a lot of people
who have soon shown a knack for being a leader with some idiosyncratic characteristics. This
is proved infamous conglomerates where talented managers often have their own ways of leading that win employee’s faith and commitment. As a result
, their revenue is always on the increase thanks to the impeccable ability of the leader. Furthermore
, what distinguishes between competent leaders and normal ones is that the truly talented one always knows how to make the best of a team’s members by cherry-picking the most practical ideas or inspiring them to contribute wholeheartedly to a general target. That is
to say, such
aforementioned skills are innate that no schools or courses can convey.
However
, I believe that nothing is impossible and so is leadership which can be achieved by pertinacious efforts of training and accumulating experiences. That is
why there are now a host of courses being organized to help people
build certain skills that are necessary for becoming a leader such
as communication,accountability and active skills. In addition
, when one constantly has to face incessant issues, one will be able to strengthen their analytical and problem-solving techniques that will otherwise
fade if not practice regularly. Moreover
, members or employees are more likely to appreciate and show respect towards their boss if they are supportive and open-minded rather than being talented but arrogant and self-opinionated.
In conclusion, even though I would contend that unique qualities belong to certain people
are the key factors that help them become great leaders, I strongly subscribe to John.F.Kennedy ‘s quote that “leadership and learning are indispensable to each other”.Submitted by giangmiumilk on
