Are leaders born or made?
What will be an ideal response?
Varies. There are arguments on both sides of the issue. Research suggests
genetic factors contribute as much as 40% to the explanation of transformation
leadership (meaning 60%+ may come from other factors such as experience/training).
Many people believe that transformational leadership can be learned. Experimental
research has shown that leaders can be trained to exhibit charismatic behaviors. The
best thinking at present is that it is most likely a combination of inborn and learned
behavior.
