How Leaders are Made

It seems incredible, but when it comes to business leadership, we don’t consider the most important pieces of it: Does this person have the know-hows to succeed? Is he or she capable of developing them and driven to continue to hone them? The seeds of personality traits might be born, but know-how is learned, developed through practice, and honed through experience. Leaders who are disciplined, determined, consistent, and persistent in developing these kinds of know-how tend to be successful on a sustained basis. In that sense, leaders are made.
