Are leaders born or are they made in Business Schools?

I acknowledge the facts leaders are born. Leadership is an inborn quality and parents, society, culture as well as education helps to polish their skills. There are many persons who are born with leadership qualities to some extent but leadership skills needs to be polished and nurtured in order to bring leadership skills to a reasonable level of competency. Leaders are not made in management institution, indeed these institutes helps us to polish our skills and develope instincts to lead the people.

Leaders who are having a high determination which influences the people to follow him. Leadership skills does not come by birth. It is a quality being acquired by various moments and inspired to be a leader. Person who has a tremendous self confidence and actions inspired by the other people called Leader.

Not everyone can become leaders. Good leadership beholds in the way he/she takes the group. It must come out naturally and teaching leadership qualities does not work out, but can be moulded. Not all the students in the b-school becomes good leaders. But there are people who have become great leaders, who are not the products of any b-school.

According to me neither leaders are born nor they are made only in Business schools!

We have seen world reknowned leaders who transformed the way world thinks are from a humble background and they many of them are college drop outs!!

But, what exactly we see in them is the passion to do something differently than others and persistent in their attempts inspite of failures. They recognized the opportunitieis and pursued on their share in that.

Even in local markets we might have obseved such leaders who born in humble background, grown like anybody else, but they struck on something which made them leaders....

Being leader is a transformation which can happen with persons oriented to creativity, enthusiam to something different, aim big. Other skills can be picked on their way up!!

leaders are born not made. Management school is just a place where you learn theories about management which may help in your career development, there are so many great leaders those who do not attended any school.

As William Shakespeare said, "Be not afraid of greatness: some men are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them. " It depends on each person and the circumstance involved.

Both of them

The Leader must have the leadership basics and then strengthen this basics at business schools

Leaders are born and are trained

leaders are born but in this competitive world the business school gives a right path to the born leaders for acheiving their gaol to explore new aspects in the business world.

The leader must have 

1- Soft skills

2- Hard skills

So, the answer is both of them.

sir, as for my opinion, leaders are born or made in business school? well,  it depends on what kind of person/people are born and made.

there are many people in this planet that born leaders,  some are made to be a leader,  but not only in the business school can be made also can be learn or enhance your abilities,  to your families,  the community and a foundation that's need a leadership;  for example, the Late President of South Africa Mr. President Nelson Mandela, who served and ruled their country from white minority.

I believe that leadership is an inborn quality. However, it must be nurtured through various stages in life.Leadership is the ability to influence a group of people to achieve a common goal. A leader must have wisdom, values and good decision making ability which can only be gained through the experience one gains in various stages of life.B-school education can nurture the leadership skills but cannot simply thrust the powers of leadership into someone who is not born with it. For example, not every B-school graduate is a great leader.
