 are not necessarily born with the skill required to head

. There are a number of courses that teach us the essential skills to be a good leader. These courses offer a great opportunity to those who do not know what a good leader is made of, and they do not demand that their attendees must have leadership experience or skill to join the group. I was recently promoted to be a manager, and being a manager requires the capability to lead the team members. For

, I was offered to attend a 5-day class that equipped me theoretically how to lead a team and achieve the goals together. In summary, possessing the
ability
 to guide

 naturally does not necessarily make them good

On the other hand

such
ability
 can be trained systematically to be good
leaders
