1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Leaders are not born \u2013 had that been the case, every leader\u2019s children would have been leaders. This theory was rejected in 1940s.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Leaders are not made \u2013 there is no specific method of training which can be given to a person so that he becomes a leader.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Situation doesn\u2019t make a leader \u2013 it is not the situation that makes leaders because everybody who is affected by the situation doesn\u2019t become a leader.<\/p>\n

So what is leadership?<\/p>\n

Leadership can be defined as the learnt ability of an individual to influence a team or a group of people towards the achievement of a goal or a set of goals. It is a process whereby one individual uses a non-coercive technique to other individuals or groups or teams towards attaining organizational goals. Therefore, leaders are neither born nor made nor does the situation make them such, it is just an ability to influence people to achieve a goal.<\/p>\n

Leaders \u2013<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Leaders exhibit leadership skills.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Leaders influence others.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The influence is non-coercive in nature.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A leader and a manager can be the same person.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Power is a function of resource dependency.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Leadership and management are the two ends of the same continuum.<\/p>\n
