Leaders -- Born and bred

Summary

Are leaders born or bred? There are three theories surrounding this myth. The Great Man Theory, where leaders are born; The Trait theory, where leaders possess several traits since birth and are bred to be a leaders; The Behavioral Theory where leaders are bred. There are no leaders who are exactly similar, as they have different traits. The most common traits are trust, motivation, clarity, action, encouragement, decisiveness, resilience and the likes. Though these are traits that most leaders possess, however their presence alone does not make them good leaders. The thing to this is that people need to know who the leaders are instead of judging them solely based on their actions. A good example that epitomizes this would be a born racehorse being sent to a workhouse instead of racing, thus not being able to race. This will backfire and there may be conflicts as it is being bred. Leaders need to realize this instead of being told.
