I had the opportunity to observe children while they are at play. Somehow I notice that the most involved child seems to lead the other children compared to the most dominant one. This begs the question at least to me; are leaders born with the trait or are they made?
I tend to lean on the fact that leadership is both personality and training. In the business world we tend to categorise leaders with the qualities we learned about leadership in both formal and informal education, furthermore by experience. They say when the going gets tough the tough gets going. During times of depression and financial difficulties true leaders emerge and take their business to greater heights.
Having said that, what sets leaders apart in what they do? I have gathered a list responsibilities a leader have in terms of the business world during the years:
- set and achieve goals
- innovate and market
- solve problems and make decisions
- set priorities
- focus and concentrate
- set an example
- perform and get results
Do you agree with the list?
