Some say leaders are born, not made. Im not sure, but I am sure they can be developed and their skills enhanced. Genega There may be born leaders, but there surely are too few to depend on them. Drucker Leadership does not simple happen. It can be taught, learned, developed.Giuliani Leadership skills are learned, and wisdom is the result of many years of hard knocks, false starts, and trial and error. Harari on Colin Powell Leadership cannot be learned in the same manner in which competency is developed with a piece. It is truly a lifelong work in progress. GEN. Charles C.
